Provider Notice issued 09/21/12

Processing Vouchers under $5.00

To:​ ​Participating Medical Assistance Providers
​Date: ​September 21, 2012
​Re: Processing Vouchers under $5.00  ​

Public Act 97-0969 amended the Warrants, Vouchers, Preaudit section in the State Comptroller Act (15 ILCS 405/9). The Public Act establishes a minimum dollar threshold for processing vouchers that are not paid through an electronic funds transfer (EFT). 

As a result of this Public Act, the Illinois Office of the Comptroller (IOC) will not pay any voucher under $5.00 except through electronic funds transfer. Effective immediately, no paper warrants will be generated. The IOC Commercial system will reject any voucher that is less than $5.00 when the vendor is not EFT active on the IOC system.

Vendors must contact the Illinois Office of the Comptroller, Electronic Commerce to sign up for EFT in order to receive their vouchers that are less than $5.00. To receive additional program information and enrollment forms, please call (217) 557-0930.

Providers wishing to receive e-mail notification, when new provider information is posted by the department, may register at the following HFS Web site.
