Universal Citation: LA Admin Code XIII-501

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 3, March 20, 2024

A. Only verified expenses can be reimbursed.

B. Verification of Claimed Expenses

1. Each type of claim form used by the board should identify the documents that must be submitted by the victim/claimant to support and verify a claimed expense.

2. When applications lack documentation necessary for a decision or award in total or in part, and adequate effort has been made to acquire that information, the application will be placed on an agenda and the decision and award will be based on that information available. Should the formerly sought information become available, a supplemental application can be filed.

C. Awards to eligible victims or claimants for expenses incurred but not yet paid may be made payable directly to the providers.

D. All checks to providers when paid at less than the full balance owing are marked "paid in full."

E. If a provider refuses a board check, the check will be reissued to the claimant for the same amount as approved.

F. In those instances in which:

1. an application has been approved for an award; and

2. payment is being made directly to the provider; and

3. the check either has not been sent or has not been negotiated by the provider; and

4. the claimant notifies the board that he has paid the bill, upon verification and return of the check, the check will be voided and reissued for the same amount to the claimant.
