Claim Dates
Various dates are used in the TX-UNPS claims function. The following table identifies and describes the dates used:
Date |
Description |
Date Created |
This date is set to the current system date when the claim is initially created. |
Date Modified |
This date is set to the current system date when the claim is initially created and each time the claim is saved. |
Date Received |
This date is typically set to the date the claim was first submitted to the State. The date can be changed by an authorized State user via the Internal Use Only section of the claim form until the claim has been processed for payment. The value of this field is used to validate the 60 day claim rules. |
Date Accepted |
This date is set to the current system date each time the claim is submitted for payment and contains no errors. If errors are detected during the submit process, the date is not set. These claims are identified with a status of “Accepted”. Accepted claims can be modified until they are included in a payment batch. |
Date Processed |
This is the date that the claim was added by the State into the batch payment process (via Payment Tracking in the Accounting module). Once the claim has been added to a batch (i.e., “batched”), it cannot be modified. These claims are identified with a status of “Accepted*” until the batch process has completed. When the batch process is completed, the status of the claim is “Processed”. If a change is required to a claim that has a status of “*Accepted” or “Processed”, a revised claim must be entered into the system. |
