The district has provided two choices for repayment. In either case, a new W-2 for the School Year will be given with the adjusted annual salary and taxes as soon as or in the order we receive the funds back. If payment is received across multiple quarters, a W-2c will be issued at the end of each quarter until complete payment has been received.

No, your repayments will be based on the total amount of overpayment stipends divided by the remaining 12 paychecks for the current budget year. However, you may modify the payment as long as it does not go beyond your final escrow payout in that summer.

Unless other arrangements have been made, the repayments will begin on February 15th based on the email you have previously received from the payroll department.

Options:

• Pay full amount owed in cash or check made to HISD at which time a W-2c will be issued to reflect the correct salary and taxes for the school year.
• Pay per pay period for the remainder of the SY and a W-2c will be issued for the repaid amount at the end of each quarter.

You may modify the payment as long as it does not go beyond your final escrow payout that summer. You may contact payroll at713-556-6440 or email at payroll@houstonisd.org.
