Extraordinary Payment Maintenance

Locking Down One-Time Payments

Guiding Principle:

To get the payment right, the placement, CANS, and FCR must be correctly documented.

• IV-E Audit:

−Need to show a stronger tie between the payment and the supporting pieces of work.

• Timely Entry Mandate.

What is Driving This Change?

• The placement specific one-time payment options will be inactivated.

− They can be reactivated for a small fee. ;-)

• Episode Driven Batch will be retired.

− Episode counties moved to “Release function”

• Release function is enhanced.

− Everyone will run weekly batches.

What to Take Away (Continued)

Let’s Take a Look

Creating an FCR for Inactive Participants.

• Uses the CANS to calculate the supplemental amount and uses the basic amount based on the child’s age (administrative and exceptional rates can also be added)

• Can also use the FCR page to create a non-Wisconsin rate

− Calculates a monthly rate

FCR on Out-of-State Placement

• A new way to document a FCR for an emergency/after hours (receiving home) placement

− Only for emergency placements

− Only for the first 30 days of a placement

• Allows for a daily rate to be entered

− Calculates the exceptional amount (subtracts the basic rate)

− Converts to a monthly rate

− Separate FCRs must be created when this expands multiple months (due to monthly rate)

Emergency/Afterhours FCRs

• Allows one to create payments without waiting for the batches to run.

− Takes the place of the one-time payment.

• A pop-up message and an email are also generated.

“Your request to (re)generate the payment has been submitted. An e-mail will be sent once this process has completed.”
