Vendor Intercept Guidance

The following information is intended for State agency and program use only.

Process Description: Per C.R.S. Section 24-30-202.4, payments made to vendors with State of Colorado debt are subject to the intercept (also called vendor offset). The payment made to the vendor is partially or fully intercepted and applied to the vendor’s debt. If a payment issued by your department is intercepted, do NOT reissue the funds. If the vendor has questions regarding the amounts that were intercepted, they must contact the intercepting department – the State department handling that vendor’s State debt. Additional information and an FAQ can be found after the screenshots.

1) Once a payment document has been processed through the nightly cycle, intercepted amounts can be viewed in the payment document header and the AD or EFT document under the tab Additional Amounts.
