How to Return Scrip

Learn how to return damaged, old, or unused scrip and how to report missing scrip.

Scrip used to pay clinical trial participants is similar to cash and therefore requires security measures. It is important that the department scrip coordinator understands how to return scrip and how to report missing scrip.

In support of campus-wide initiatives to become more virtual, paperless and cashless, IPPS has discontinued the issuance of new Scrip as of June 19th, 2020. Scrip dated June 30th 2018 and prior are no longer negotiable. 

You must return scrip that is:

  • Defaced or damaged
  • Stale dated (Stale dated scrip is unused scrip that is older than 1 year from the order date.)
  • Expired (Scrip is valid for 60 days from the issue date. If scrip recipient does not cash it within 60 days and returns it to you, you must return scrip to Disbursements.)
  • Unused at the end of the trial

To return scrip:

  1. Write VOID on each scrip being returned.
  2. Complete the Scrip Returns Form.
  3. Mail the voided scrip(s) and completed form to the Disbursements scrip coordinator for cancellation at: 9500 Gilman Drive 0955 La Jolla, CA 92093-0955.
