Generally, miscellaneous payments to the secondary vendor will be for payment of an unpaid back bill if the back bill did not fall within a month of "continuous eligibility" as described in 415-30-15-10-05.
Example:
A household applies in February and was determined eligible from February 1 through May 31. Heating costs were also incurred between October and January, but eligibility existed only for October, December and January. The December and January bills can be billed by the primary vendor on the computer printout "Request for Payment." The October bill will be paid on the "Miscellaneous and Emergency Payment" screen.

Miscellaneous payments may be necessary to the primary vendor if a bill has been only partially paid for any reason. Since the delivery date has already been used, the computer will not accept another bill from the vendor for the same delivery date, with the same invoice number and type of fuel.
-
Miscellaneous payments may be necessary to a primary vendor if the energy bill is in the name of someone other than the applicant's. The county needs to exercise caution, since the bill may be in another name due to previous unpaid bills. The applicant must understand that the payment to the vendor will be listed under his name.
If this will cause a problem, the payment may need to be sent to the applicant. (See 415-35-20-20-05 or 415-35-20-20-20.)
