• mFinancials records each payment that is processed into a general ledger. This ledger enforces the balancing of all transactions. mFinancials can also maintain a hold on payments.
• If mFinancials uses a case selection hierarchy to select cases which are used in the allocation and distribution process.
• mFinancials contains a configurable Allocation and Distribution hierarchy which can be modified to meet state policy. mFinancials will allocate and distribute a payment based on the priorities defined.
• When disbursing a payment, mFinancials will find the preferred payment method for each party.
• When the optional Future Strategy property is enabled, mFinancials will calculate futures.
• Grant information is received from TANF or Foster Care agencies. mFinancials tracks these amounts and adds them to the Unreimbursed Assistance (URA) balance. Payments distributed to obligations assigned to the state will reduce the URA balance.
• mFinancials can calculate and process pass-through (aka disregard).
• When handling payment adjustments, mFinancials can cancel or update payments. It will determine if a recoupment or distribution is necessary and perform the needed steps to make this update.
• mFinancials maintains audit trails of all financials transactions that occur on a case. Administrators, auditors, and caseworks can access this system.
• Several out-of-the-box batch processes for common child support activities are available. These processes run in various cycles that include items such as payment distributions and obligation determinations.
