Marshall County mails checks for the MA-EPD premium reimbursements
each month, however one of my EW’s just came and said there is an option of
Direct Deposit for our clients. Are other counties offering this and if
so, what do I need to do to implement this? Also, does the County HAVE to offer
it?
Thanks.

If you are talking about having the MA-EPD that the county pays the client come from a direct deposit from the county, I believe that is an option each county has. We do have the option for our vendors. We prefer them to be direct deposit since we tend to have issues with the mail that delays payments. We use IFS and it is an easy process. Vendors receive a remit advice the day before the payment goes in their bank. it is mandatory for all county staff to have direct deposit.
ReplyDeleteIf there is an option to avoid the county paying, and that going to the client directly from the state, I'd love to hear about that.
