1095 - ENCUMBRANCES
Records relating to encumbrances requested by ministries and agencies (which are currently limited to setoffs) in order to collect on overdue accounts. Setoffs allow for the redirection of government payments (e.g., supplier payments) to the recipient’s outstanding debt with a ministry or agency.
This primary does not cover legally-served payment encumbrances such as garnishing orders and third-party demands. Those encumbrances are the responsibility of the Legal Encumbrances Branch of the Office of the Comptroller General.
Record types include correspondence and reports.
For legal encumbrances, as well as the processing of provincial setoff requests between ministries, see the Office of the Comptroller General ORCS, schedule 180968.
non-OPR NOTE: Offices will retain non-OPR copies of records for: SO nil DE
