Each week the Central Finance Office (CFO) Help Desk documents the various questions that are received at the help desk. These topics are shared with the Missouri Office of Special Education in order to identify issues and to help provide up-to-date guidance to service coordinators and service providers.
In the past month there was an increase in the number of questions related to mileage, specifically the time frame for processing mileage payments. In order to answer this question for future payments, the Missouri First Steps Reimbursement Schedule has been adjusted to add a column for the specific date the Monthly Mileage Invoice must be received at the CFO in order to be included in the next check run.
