Banking Modernization

  • Phase One: Account Migration to US Bank is on schedule for July 1, 2018
  • Phase One improvements focus on improving operations, and include:

– Automation of Positive Pay; FSP integration for automated bank reconciliation; elimination of a complex manual process for daily funding of benefit payments; automated accounting entries for disbursed benefit payments – Positive Pay service is expanded to include payee name, enhancing fraud controls – Account formation transforms to a Master Zero Balance Account and subsidiary disbursement accounts, reducing administrative risk of accounting errors that cause WC administrative penalties and bank fees; and maximizing City funds in higher yielding accounts for as long as possible prior to disbursement

  • Phase Two (expected Q2) and Phase Three (expected Q3) activate electronic

payments for vendors/injured workers, and medical providers (respectively). These phases will deliver further improvements and lower processing costs for the 295,000 annual payments and 80,000 checks issued annually by the Division.

  • The overall project is anticipated to lower direct costs by more than $100,000 per

year, significantly reduce paper waste for remittance and explanation of review mailings, offer greater flexibility and convenience to all participants in the system, and significantly enhance the use of technology and automation to reduce manual effort in all financial processing activities.
