Reminder: Submit Invoices on Time

As a reminder, please ensure vendor invoices are emailed to SDSVendor@fello.org with required documentation as soon as the approved item is purchased or the service is provided. Please see DDA's Self-Directed Services Manual for a list of requirements for each service. Fello cannot process payments for a service provided or item purchased more than 11 months prior to invoice submission. If a payment is not processed in alignment with our calendars, please place a customer service ticket.
