(Revised 10/00 ML #2629)
Miscellaneous payments authorized by the county social service office are sent directly through the State Office computer for payment. There is no "authorization" for the applicant or vendor to sign.
Miscellaneous payments may be made for any eligible household provided eligibility existed during the month in which the heating cost was incurred. Although the household's ineligible months are stored in the computer information system, there are not any edit checks built in to be sure bills submitted for miscellaneous payments do not fall within those ineligible months. It is the responsibility of the county social service worker to monitor this.
Anything which can be billed under heating assistance benefits as described in 415-20-05-05 may be paid by miscellaneous payments.
The following formula may be used to assist in calculating a Miscellaneous Payment:
Delivery Date Cost of Delivery X LIHEAP % = LIHEAP MISC. PAYMENT
____________ $_____________x________% = $_______________________
If a correction must be made to a payment already processed, the following formula may be used to assist in calculating the underpayment:
