Add an ACH Payment Outside of a Claim [Feature]
This feature allows users to include an additional payment to a provider, center or site that is outside of a claim payment. For example, if a sponsor needs to distribute unused administrative reimbursement funds to centers at the end of a fiscal year or for special payments authorized by USDA or the state agency.
Adding an additional ACH payment should not be used for claim payments. This amount will be included in the generated ACH file, but there is no record of the transaction stored in My Food Program.
To use this feature:
- Login as a Sponsor Admin
- Click on the Claims tab
- Click the button for ACH Generator
- Enter your banking passphrase
- Click Unlock ACH Generator
- Check the box for Do you need to add a payment outside of claims?
- Enter the information for the providers, centers or sites that need to receive additional non-claim funds
- Select the Site
- The only sites that appear on the dropdown list are those with a Payment Method set to Direct Deposit
- Enter the Amount
- Click the Add button to enter additional sites
- Click the Delete button if you no longer want to make an additional payment to this site
- Click the button Securely Generate ACH
