Receipts required for Autism Funding Processing Unit

[Constance Wun]

Recently the Autism Funding Processing Unit withheld my cheques because I have been sending them invoices from my consultants instead of receipts.  With only the invoices, the Unit didn't consider me to have paid out to my consultants.  

It turns out that the Unit want all invoices to be signed by the consultants and hand-written with the words "paid in full".  By sharing this with all of you, I hope you will avoid the mistake I have made.  Receipts are required by behaviour consultants, OT, SLP and also BIs.

Constance, I dont' think "it's the mistake" ...In fact, the processing unit has blurred policy in many areas. From my experience, I would give monthly invoice and receipt to my client and then it's my client's responsibility to send them to the processing unit. That way, the processing unit gets to see if the family has paid the service provider ( by looking at the receipt). I hope this would help.
