Introduction
Authority
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) has been granted the authority by the legislature to act
as the collection agency for debts owed to state, county, or local government agencies. Sec. 71.93 (8)
(b), Wis. Stats., authorizes DOR to enter into written agreements with each agency detailing the
collection processes.
State agencies are required to enter into an agreement to refer debt for collection.
Courts, the legislature, certain authorities, and local units of governments may enter into
agreements but are not required.
Contact Information
Agency Contacts
Agencies who want program information, technical assistance, or debtor/debt questions:
Joseph Mugenga Phone: 608-264-0344 email: joseph.mugenga@revenue.wi.gov
Corban Gehler Phone: 608-264-0344 email: corban.gehler@revenue.wi.gov
Debtor Contacts
Debtors who want to enter into a payment plan or have questions about their debt:
DOR Assistance Phone: 608-266-7879 email: delnqtax@revenue.wi.gov
Qualifying Debts
Debt Balance must be greater than $50.00
The debt must be more than 90 days past due with no active negotiations or payment plans in
place.
A referral notice to the debtor is required at least 30 days prior to referral, and the debtor must
be given an opportunity to be heard in regards to the obligation due.
Getting Started – Setup and testing
Once an agency has signed an agreement with DOR, we need to work together to establish the method
of file transfer and an implementation time frame. Please complete the form located in Appendix 6.
1) Identify how the agency will receive proceeds.
If the agency uses the state central bank account and WISMART, DOR will post a transfer of
funds using a WISMART PV transaction. The agency will need to provide the appropriate
revenue accounting string to DOR.
FUND (3) – AGENCY (3) – ORG CODE (4) – SUB ORG (2) – APPR (3) + (R OR B) – REVENUE
SOURCE OR BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNT (4) – SUB REV (2) – ACTIVITY CODE (4)
If the agency does not use the central bank account, DOR will initiate an ACH transfer
directly to the agencies bank account. The agency will need to provide DOR with the bank
account routing number and account number.
2) Identify a file transmission method - The file layout data dictionary for submitting debts is
included in Appendix 2.
Flat File Layout – for agencies that have a high volume of debts to refer and programming
resources to automate the setup. Agencies may send a file as frequently as they desire
(daily, weekly, or monthly).
-3-
o DOR will process the file and respond with a corresponding answer file. The answer
file will contain information as to whether the debtor has been accepted or rejected.
If rejected, the file will display a reject reason. DOR will also provide the amount
added to the debt as collection fee and provide the new total balance due to the
agency. The Flat File Layout will require a more extensive testing procedure.
NOTE: The Flat File Layout will be transferred using a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) to
ensure confidentiality of debtor information. Information on how to set up and use the SFTP
portal is included in Appendix 1
On-line Data Entry – for agencies with fewer debts to refer. Users will key each debt by
completing the required fields. Once submitted, DOR will respond immediately with an
answer as to whether the debt is accepted or rejected. If rejected, DOR will provide a
reason. There is no testing involved when using this method.
3) Identify debtors using the qualifying criteria listed on page 3. Send the referral notice to the last
known address.
NOTE: Even if the debtor notice comes back as undeliverable, the attempt to mail to the last
known address is considered reasonable notice and the debt can be referred.
4) During the referral period (30 days), send DOR a test file (Flat File Layout) of potential debtors.
DOR will run the file through test systems to determine the validity of the data and flesh out any
problems with the file. Once you start sending production files, this step is no longer
necessary.
DOR will generate a test response file for agency review. The response file will include
whether the debt was accepted or rejected and if rejected provide a reason. DOR will also
provide the amount added to the debt as collection fee and provide the new total balance
due to the agency.
5) Inactivate any debts referred to the Tax Refund Intercept Program (TRIP) that will be referred to
the State Debt Collection Program. Both programs use refund interception proceeds as a
revenue stream for collection.
6) After 30 days, send a production file to DOR. DOR will load to the production system and begin
collecting debts.
On Going – Establish a cycle
New Debt/Debt Update Files: DOR can accept the New Debt/Debt Update file at any time.
Agencies may wish to establish a cycle of sending new files on a daily, weekly, or monthly
cycle. See Appendix 2 for data dictionary and file layout details.
o Flat File Layout – every file submitted to DOR will result in a response file being
generated and placed on the SFTP server for you to process on the next business
day.
o On-line Data Entry – once you submit a request to upload a debt to DOR, a response
will be generated as to whether the debt has been accepted or rejected. After
overnight processing, the collection fee and an updated balance will display.
Transaction Files: On the first business day of the month DOR will send a file that contains
payments to debt and updates to the debt balances. If payments were received the agency
will either receive a transfer entry in WISMART or an ACH transfer to a bank account. See
Appendix 3 for data dictionary and file layout details.
o DOR initiates the payment file on the first business day of the month. Agencies will
receive the payment 3 days later.
-4-
Return File: On a monthly basis, DOR will scan accounts to determine if they are still in a
collectible status or if they should be returned to the agency. Return reasons may include
uncollectible, deceased, bankruptcy, or recall request from agency. See Appendix 4 for
data dictionary and file layout details.
Account Summary Files: Available on demand from the SDC Portal. The file contains the
current balance for all debtors referred to DOR for collection. See Appendix 5 for data
dictionary and file layout details.
Agency Approach
Once a debt is referred to DOR for collection, the agency must make every effort to direct the
debtor to DOR in order to resolve the balance. DOR has taken steps to provide the full amount due
in the debt response file and Posting Notice. In the event that the debtor has contacted you in
person to resolve the debt, please make sure that you collect both the amount referred as well as
the collection fee.
PARTIAL PAYMENT: If you collect a partial payment, send the amount received to DOR.
DOR will apply the payment, adjust the balance due and send a balance statement to the
debtor. You will receive your portion of the proceeds in the monthly remittance.
NOTE: If the debtor sends you a check, send the check directly to DOR. We will apply the
payment intended for you to the debt and endorse the check appropriately.
DO NOT use the recall transaction if you received a payment. If the debtor paid your
agency, we will apply the payment and continue to collect the fee. Recall should only be
used if you sent the debt to DOR in error.
DO NOT use the debt update transaction to change the amount of the debt if you
receive a payment. This will cause an adjustment to the collection fee and any interest
calculated to date. Use the debt update transaction only if you send DOR the wrong
amount and need to amend the debt.
PAYMENT IN FULL: If you collect the total amount due including the DOR collection fee
you may notify the department of the payment using the New Debt/Debt Update File, tran
type 4 to identify payment transaction. Send DOR the fee amount.
Send a check for the collection fee to:
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
STATE DEBT COLLECTION MAIL STOP 4-208
PO BOX 8901
MADISON WI 53708-8901
Debt Inquiry: DOR has a link, www.revenue.wi.gov/html/debtcoll.html - Debt Balance Lookup,
for agencies to quickly tell if a debtor has resolved their obligations. Enter the AgencyID, DebtorID,
and Debt# to receive information as to whether a balance is resolved or still outstanding. The scan
will look at all debts that this debtor has for the agency when revealing the status.
