    (A) A state agency shall submit an additional detail report to each participating credit union that received or should have received a payment of amounts deducted from the salary or wages of at least one of the agency's state employees. If the participating credit union has notified the comptroller in writing that the additional detail reports should be submitted to an entity other than the credit union, then the reports shall be submitted to that entity.

    (B) If a state agency uses USPS and submits its additional detail reports electronically, then the comptroller shall submit those reports on behalf of the agency.

    (G) A state agency shall submit its additional detail reports in the format required by the comptroller.

  (4) Payment discrepancies. A state agency that receives a report of discrepancies from a participating credit union shall investigate them and notify the credit union of the action to be taken to eliminate them. The agency shall provide the notification not later than the 30th calendar day after the agency receives the report. If the 30th calendar day is not a workday, then the first workday following the 30th calendar day is the deadline.
