Reminder: Our staff remain teleworking. We’ve been experiencing a variety of issues with disbursements and since several staff “touch” the request and we must have auditable records, we ask that each submission use the following protocol. This will make the process go more smoothly and, therefore, faster. It should also prevent us from asking you to resubmit.
- Provide the completed and signed disbursement form with succinct, supporting documentation
- Organize as a single PDF, if possible
- PDF should be organized with the three page disbursement request first followed by supporting documentation
- Transmittal letters are unnecessary unless needed to explain an unusual circumstance reflected on page 1 of the disbursement form. In that case, place the letter/explanation after the third page of the disbursement form before the support documentation.
- Label the PDF with the Project ID
- Email only to the appropriate program representative (do not mail a hard copy). Complete listing of staff emails is found here
- Limit the email to a single request
We appreciate these efforts as it helps us help you, and helping you is our priority. 😊

OPWC no longer uses a Vendor Approval Form (formerly known as Request to Proceed). To not delay payments, our customers are responsible for ensuring that chosen suppliers (vendors) are in the state payment system before submitting a Disbursement request. Updated monthly, this list shows suppliers that are in the system. If your supplier is not listed, please direct them to the State of Ohio’s Enterprise Identity Management System, OH|ID, to access the Ohio Supplier Portal to create an account. While there, suppliers can also apply for EFT which can reduce processing time by two or three days in that payments are completed electronically to the supplier’s bank account. The Portal is also used to make changes including addresses, name changes, and bank account information for those who currently have EFT

If you need to contact OPWC about your supplier, we have an email address just for you (VendorApprovals@pwc.ohio.gov).
