SHIP - Invoice Packet Submission Form
Supportive Housing Initiative Pipeline ("SHIP")
Per Section 14 of the Contract, monthly invoicing is required. Please submit an invoice for services performed during the previous month by the 15th of each month. Please submit one monthly invoice at a time.
If there is more than one invoice to submit for past services billed, please submit each monthly invoice separately, with all backup documentation, in the submission form. Travis County will allow more than one invoice to be submitted in one month, but the submitter must wait until the approval of the preceding invoice before making the next submission. For example, if there are three invoices, the first one may be submitted. The submitter must wait until they are informed via email that the first one is approved, then the second invoice may be submitted. The submitter must wait for approval notice again, before the third invoice may be submitted. We are required to approve invoices within 30-days; if all are submitted on one day, that makes the 30-day approval window highly improbable. As a result, we ask that subrecipients or subconsultants adhere to this process.
Once received, all invoice packet files will be reviewed for accuracy and completeness. If the invoice packet is complete, the files will be saved in the HHS Supportive Housing files. All files will be consolidated and distributed via DocuSign for the review and approval workflow process. If there are errors to any contents of the packet, the submitter will be notified via email. If a packet is rejected, the reason for rejection will be explained in writing (in the notice email) and the 30-day prompt-pay clock will start over, upon submission of the revised packet.
Once an invoicing packet is received via this submission form, HHS staff will review and if approved, the packet will be assembled according to the Invoice Cover Form and will be distributed to all approvers in DocuSign. Please do not sign page 2 of the Invoice Cover Form outside of DocuSign. Each approver will be responsible for reviewing and signing the Invoice Packet Approvals Signature Page. Remember, we will work to process invoices as efficiently as possible, and within 30-days. Accuracy and completeness of packet information is imperative upon submission to allow the staff workflow review process to function as efficiently as possible.
