OLGT 2024-61: TAFDC and EAEDC: Vendor Payments

Protective payments are made to vendors on behalf of a client in receipt of TAFDC or EAEDC. To ensure the accuracy and timeliness of vendor payments, the Department will now include the client’s account number with
the vendor for certain types of protective payments such as utilities. Vendor payment checks will display the client’s account number when the service type is electricity, gas, heat, or mortgage. BEACON enhancements include a
mandatory field for the client’s service account number on the vendor payments page. The BEACON enhancement was deployed on August 16, 2024.
