WE USE A DETAILED APPLICATION FOR THOSE APPLYING FOR MEAP ASSISTANCE, WHICH HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE MICHIGAN PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION (MPSC). THE APPLICANT MAKES AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE ST VINCENT DE PAUL CONFERENCE (FRIENDS IN NEED OFFICE) IN THEIR AREA, COMPLETES THE APPLICATION AND REVIEWS IT WITH A CONFERENCE VOLUNTEER. IF THE APPLICANT QUALIFIES AND PROVIDES ALL OF THE REQUIRED INFORMATION, THE DOCUMENTS ARE FORWARDED TO US AND WE CHECK ALL DOCUMENTATION AND VERIFY THE POVERTY LEVEL OF THE APPLICANT HOUSEHOLD. THE APPLICANT'S INFORMATION IS THEN TYPED INTO A SECURE DATABASE CALLED SAFETYNET, WHICH IS RUN BY THE HEAT AND WARMTH FUND (THAW). WE USE THE DATABASE FOR STORING INFORMATION, FOR REPORTING PURPOSES, AND TO TRACK EACH APPLICANT'S STATUS AND ASSISTANCE TOTAL. WE CALCULATE THE PAYMENT AMOUNTS TO THE VARIOUS UTILITY VENDORS BASED ON RECENT BILLS AND GUIDELINES PROVIDED BY THE STATE. WE THEN ENTER ALL PAYMENT INFORMATION INTO OUR ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND CUT CHECKS TWO TO THREE TIMES PER WEEK. THE INDIVIDUAL PAYMENTS ARE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE UTILITY VENDORS, WHO APPLY THE PAYMENTS TO THE APPLICANT ACCOUNTS. WE MONITOR THE CHECKS THROUGH BANK ACCOUNT RECONCILIATION AND IF NECESSARY, FOLLOW UP WITH THE VENDOR TO VERIFY THAT PAYMENT WAS RECEIVED WITH SUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO PROCESS.
