"Invoice Check" Procedure Available for Vendors' Internal Connections Invoices
Message Posted December 28, 2003
Unlike the BEAR Forms where service providers must countersign the request for reimbursement, no procedures were ever available to provide a 'check-and-balance' system for Service Provider Invoices (SPIFs as they are commonly known). Because there have been instances of service providers submitting invoices for internal connections equipment or service that was never performed, the SLD has instituted an "invoice-check" system. The new system will enable applicants to review their portion of a Service Provider Invoice Form (Form 474) submitted by Internal Connections service providers before payments are disbursed to those service providers.
To request an invoice check, applicants should call the Client Service Bureau at 1-888-203-8100. They should be prepared to provide specific information about each FRN for which they wish notification prior to payment. Each time a SPI Form that references an FRN in an invoice check status is submitted for payment, the SLD will ask the service provider to obtain a certification from the applicant that the invoiced services were delivered and installed. Payment will not be processed on an FRN subject to an invoice check until the applicant makes this certification.
