When will I receive this reimbursement?
The reimbursement for furlough leave will be included on a paycheck
in January 2023.
Will it be a regular paycheck or a separate check?
The reimbursement will be added into one of your regular January
2023 paychecks.
What deductions will be taken out of this reimbursement?
The reimbursement is considered wages; therefore, Medicare tax and
Federal Income tax will be withheld as is the case on a regular
paycheck.
What code will I see on my paycheck for this payment?
The code for the reimbursement will show as “PFADJ – Paid Furlough
Adjustment”.
Can I request that this payment be made at a later date or in installments?
No. This is being considered for by the Interim Finance Committee as a
one-time payment and can only be disbursed as such.
Will my current agency or the agency I was with when the furlough was
taken be paying this?
The agency you currently work for will be paying this out of their
budget.
How is the amount that I’m being paid determined? I make more (or less)
than when the furlough was taken.
The amount that your paycheck was reduced by for furlough leave for
the period of January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021 has been
recorded; this is the amount you will be reimbursed.
Will I get extra leave accrual for this payment, or will it affect my leave
accrual?
No. This payment will not create extra leave accrual or impact your
current pay period leave accrual amount.

Will this be a direct deposit like my regular paycheck?
Because this payment will be included on one of your January 2023
paychecks, it will be paid to you in the same manner that your regular
wages paycheck is paid.
What calendar year W-2 will this be included on?
The reimbursement will be included on your calendar year 2023 Form
W-2.
I’m no longer employed with the State; will I get this payment?
This will be determined at a later date.
Will this impact my PERS benefit in any way?
No. Your retirement contributions remained whole at the time the
furlough was reported in January to June 2021. This reimbursement
will not change that.
