AN IMPORTANT JANUARY PAYMENT REMINDER FROM SSPS
The date a provider receives payment for services paid through the Social Service Payment System (SSPS) varies due to weekends, and bank and US Postal Service holidays.
January 1st through 3rd are holiday and weekend dates in 2010. These factors are out of payment system control. As a result provider claims made before 4:30 on December 31st will:
· Begin processing on January 4th instead of the 1st .
· Experience possible high volume US Postal Service holiday mailing delays.
· Be available for banks to automatically deposit into providers’ accounts no earlier than January 8th.
All of these factors will result in payments reaching providers later than usual.
