§ 9504 Stop Payment Action Notice

• •If you start a lawsuit to get paid for a claim you made with a stop payment notice, you have to tell the government about it.
• •You must tell them within 5 days of starting the lawsuit.
• •You have to send the notice the same way you sent the stop payment notice.

You worked on a government building project and didn't get paid, so you sent a stop payment notice. Now, you're suing to get your money.

You have to tell the government you're suing them within 5 days of starting the lawsuit, using the same method you used to send the stop payment notice.
