How to Add and Edit Payments
- Click on the Payment tab at the top of the screen.
- To add a payment, click the "add" link on the right side of the screen.
- Chose the recipient from the drop down menu. If the recipient is not listed you must first add the dependent under the Dependent's tab at the top of the page.
- Next, chose the date the payment started.
- The date stopped is only if the payment is no longer reocurring monthly.
- Under the Reference section, choose the applicable reference.
- This drop down menu is directly tied to the Current Claims section.
- For example, if you have a Presumptive current claim then the word "presumptive" will appear in the reference section.
- All of the types of payments listed under Current Claims will appear in the Reference section.
- If you do not see the type you need, add a Current Claim prior to setting up a payment.
- Add an amount.
- If setting a retroactive amount, type in the whole amount and set the stop date the same as the start date. This will allow for the retroactive amount to only be counted one time.
- If setting a recurring amount, type the monthly dollar figure. Only set a stop date if the figure is no longer a running award, otherwise leave the stop date blank to allow for figuring of the award.
- You can add a note to any payment to help in describing the award.
