Individual Vendor Warrants The Department of Treasury issues individual vendor warrants for each client with vendoring. The vendored amount is withheld from the client's regular semimonthly warrant and usually sent to the pro- vider within four days after the regular warrant. Each vendor warrant includes half of the client's monthly vendor payment. A stub attached to the vendor warrant states: Case name. Case number. FIS/ES workload number. Client's address. Client's billing account number Pay period (for example, Jan. 1st half) the warrant is issued for. Message identifying the warrant as a vendor payment. $1.00 processing fee deducted (shelter judgments only). Consolidated Vendor Warrants Shelter, heat and electric providers with a signed agreement with DHS receive consolidated vendor warrants for multiple clients. The vendored amounts are withheld from the clients' regular semi- monthly warrants. The total heat and electric deductions or shelter payments of all cli- ents with vendoring to the provider are combined into weekly war- rants as follows: 1st week - First semimonthly payments for clients with case numbers ending in 0-4. 2nd week - First semimonthly payments for clients with case numbers ending in 5-9. 3rd week - Second semimonthly payments for clients with case numbers ending in 0-4.
