Payment/Claim Vouchers and Documentation

 02-07-25


I am looking for information regarding how your county processes HHS warrants – specifically:

  • What is your process and what is required when submitting for a payment through finance?
  • From an auditing or policy perspective, when is a voucher required?
  • If there are times when a voucher is not required, how can that be clearly defined? What needs to be included?  
  • What type of documentation is required for processing payments (ie, letter from a bank or rental agent for mortgage/rent)?

 

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Amy

  1. Watonwan County requires a voucher for all payments, whether it be a pre-printed voucher through SSIS, an expense sheet, MA Access Transportation, Medicare Part B/Cost Effective Health Insurance or a County Voucher that is hand written. The voucher needs to be signed by the client, worker, and/or supervisor depending on what the voucher is for. Also, there should be documentation attached to the voucher for audit purposes.

  2. I second what Kim has responded with. I require a voucher/claim form with every request for payment that needs to be signed by the worker and supervisor. Clients need to also sign claims for personal reimbursements such as MA mileage. Documentation for the MA claims need to follow what is in your MA Access Plan. Documentation is required for all claims, even if all you can do sometimes is a hand-written note by the worker explaining the cost (not common). Feel free to email or call me if you have further questions. :) Kari Sowieja, Le Sueur County
