Services Provider Payments is the section of the Foster Care Revenue Enhancement Division responsible for researching foster care payment problems, validating the receipt of vouchers or issuance of warrants, distributing the FAD documents, assigning vendor numbers, updating APPS vendor information, and processing the special compensation payments to providers. Special payment processing includes validating the budget information, invoice issuance and posting, warrant requesting through UVPS and warrant control.

The Automated Provider Payments System (APPS) tracks all foster care paid placement payment authorizations received from the Children’s Information System (CIS) or Child’s Welfare Services/Case Management System (CWS/CMS), issues the vouchers, computes the vendor payments and processes the information to the Foster Care Payment System (FCPS) for issuance of the foster care warrants and the ongoing monthly vouchers to the providers. The Department’s SPP staff utilize APPS for functions such as the assignment of vendor numbers, researching foster care payment problems and validating the receipt of vouchers or issuance of warrants. APPS produces the Financial Authorization Documents (FAD) to line staff confirming APPS processing and payment authorizations.

The Automated Special Payments System (ASPS) tracks payment authorizations for designated services not directly related to providing foster care. These include DCFS Service Funded Activities (SFA) and funeral expenses, and Severely Emotionally Disturbed (SED) placement payments for children placed in group homes by the Department of Mental Health (DMH). ASPS prints vendor invoices, computes entitlements and processes payment requests to the County’s Uniform Vendor Payment System (UVPS) for issuance of payments to service providers/vendors.

The Uniform Vendor Payment System (UVPS) is the County Auditor-Controller system for issuing warrants to service providers/vendors for payments covered by programs not incorporated into any other payment system.
