MEMORANDUM

DISCUSSION:

Memorandum IM #59 dated August 5, 2009, introduced the Benefit Payment History Report's availability to all domains in Managed Reporting for Temporary Assistance (TA) and Food Stamp (FS) payments.

Effective September 19, 2011, the payment history for MO HealthNet for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled (MHABD) programs is available on the Benefit Payment History Report to all domains in Managed Reporting. This report provides information for TA, FS, and MHABD payments issued from the date the Eligibility Unit (EU) first received benefits in FAMIS through the last day of the month prior to running the report.

IPAY continues to display issuance information for payments issued in Legacy.

ACCESSING THE BENEFIT PAYMENT HISTORY REPORT

Access to the report is through the user's normal Managed Reporting domain; e.g., eligibility specialists access the report through the Eligibility Specialist Domain. Select the "Benefit Payment History" report. Complete the fields on the Benefit Payment History screen as follows:

• Choose the appropriate Program from the drop-down menu.
• Enter the 10-digit DCN.
• Enter the month and year of the start and end of the desired range. The report will include any benefits within the period entered.
• Click the "Online Report" button on the screen.
• The report is provided in Excel spreadsheet format. You may be prompted to select "Open" or "Save" the file.
  • Click "Open" to open the report in your browser window.
  • Click "Save" to save the report to a location on your computer. A new dialog box is displayed where you may rename the file and choose where to save it.

NOTE: If no benefits are issued through FAMIS for the chosen months, the message "No HTML Output!" is displayed.

NECESSARY ACTION:

• Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
• Use the BENEFIT PAYMENT HISTORY REPORT to obtain historical issuance information.
• Do not contact Cole.CoIDM@dss.mo.gov, FAMIS or the Program and Policy Unit to obtain archived MHABD payment information.
