Mass Payments for Employment Services Providers

KEES project staff have been running a data fix bi-weekly to issue payments to providers approved through the Mass Payment process due to various defects. These defects are expected to be fixed in the build delivered to KEES during the weekend of 12/16.

• Any Mass Payments entered into KEES by end of day, Wednesday, December 13th will be issued to providers through a data fix.

• Please do not enter any Mass Payments into KEES on Thursday, December 14th and Friday, December 15th.  

• This fix should allow all Employment Services programs to utilize the Mass Payment process beginning Monday, December 18th. This includes Work Programs, FAET, and GOALS.

Any Mass Payments not entered into KEES by end of day, Wednesday, December 13th should be held for data entry until Monday, December 18th.

Staff who enter Mass Payments on Monday, December 18th and after will need to select an Aid Code on the Mass Payment page. Only one aid code can be selected at a time. This means the selected aid code will apply to all payments entered on the page.

Aid Codes include:

• TAF Employment Svs: Use this to issue payments related to Work Programs services

• ET: Use this to issue payments related to FAET services

• GOALS: Use this to issue payments related to GOALS services

NOTE: The defect preventing payment issuance to consumers in Transitional status should now be fixed and no longer prevent staff from issuing single or mass payments.
