Supplements are shown as pending until the actual benefit/warrant is posted. Bridges displays the case number, grantee/provider name, type of assistance, service type, pay begin date/end date, benefit type, payment amount, recoupment amount (if any), warrant/available date, status and whether a client or vendor is being supplemented. The benefit number is displayed below the case number when the benefit/warrant is posted. EBT Payments Supplements for $1,000 or less are deposited into the client’s EBT account on the day after authorization.Bridges will display details for these deposits on the first workday after the authorization. Non-EBT Payments Supplements for amounts over $1,000 are issued as warrants. These warrants are issued approximately two days after authoriza- tion. The payment will be extracted daily and Treasury will mail the warrant on the second business day after the transaction is done. EDBC on the Same Business Day If you re-run an eligibility determination and benefit calculation (EDBC) for the same benefit month(s) on the same business day that you calculated a benefit resulting in a supplement and the new results do not indicate there is a supplement, the supplement will not be issued.
