Access Fund · Access Fund · staff

Payouts, patterns and the close — never an award.

What staff would do: payouts and the monthly close. Staff never decide an award.

Staff cannot decide an award, hurry one, or reopen one; no such screen exists. The one moment a name is seen is the invoice at payment, and that opening is logged under the staff member’s name.

Nothing on this page is an offer

The Access Fund has no balance, no committee, no payee and no way to ask. These pages are the design — the flow, the criteria and the committee process — with every pool, cap, award and payout figure absent or marked illustrative. A preview banner says a feature does not work yet; it cannot disclaim a financial commitment to someone who is ill and out of money, so this notice does.

Payouts due

  • No payout without a W-9 on file — request it from here.
  • Two admins over a published threshold [ILLUSTRATIVE]; the second cannot be the one who opened the invoice.
  • Duplicate-invoice and payee-share flags block the button until read.
  • ACH batch export; the refund path when a plan later pays.

Nothing is due. Nothing has been awarded.

Refunds

A plan that pays on appeal: the payee refunds the fund, the ledger takes a correcting line, and the person’s cap comes back the same day.

Eligibility that arithmetic could not settle

Payee only — what was asked for is not shown to staff. Is this a laboratory, a practice, a pharmacy or a vendor that takes a direct payment?

No open calls.

Duplicates the code caught

None. The rule: same payee, same thing, same record, inside 90 days.

Applying to be a payee

A lab, practice, pharmacy or vendor asks to be paid directly; staff check the invoice address and bank on the W-9 and nothing else.

No applications.

Payees on file

None. Every payee will be listed publicly with what it was paid.

Reconciliation

The bank statement against the ledger, differences only, and a correcting line when they disagree. The reconciliation is itself a ledger line.

No statement, no ledger, nothing to reconcile.

Audit log · every staff action on the fund

Append-only. Opening an invoice, paying it, requesting a W-9, closing a month — each a line under a name, exportable.

No actions. No fund.
