Additional Information
Paydates, Payroll cutoffs, and deadlines are available on the U-M Payroll Website.
Work-Study payroll checks expire 180 days after they are issued. Once your check expires, you will need to complete and submit a Check Affadavit Application in order to obtain a new check.
Federal regulations require universities to return the federal portion of Work-Study earnings to the federal program if checks are not cashed within 240 days of the date of issue. If you have not cashed your check or requested a new one within 240 days, your employer will be required to fund the full amount of your replacement check.
