Did you know . . . ?
The State of Connecticut has specific guidelines for what is considered an acceptable invoice. Each invoice should have a unique invoice number pre-printed on the face of the invoice. Your business's 'remit to' address should appear on the face of the invoice and should match the information previously provided when the business was established as a vendor for the State. The invoice should reference the purchase order number and the invoice detail by line should mirror that on the purchase order (i.e. description of goods and/or services, quantity, billed amount). If services were provided, the invoice should specify the dates the service was performed. Additional information regarding submitting your invoice can be found on the purchase order.
Q.  Can you tell me if our invoice has been paid?

A. The Central Accounts Payable Division of Connecticut's Office of the State Comptroller has created a website especially for vendors. After establishing an account, vendors may use this resource to find answers to many of their payment related questions. It's a fast and easy way to see when a payment has been made and by which State Agency. Vendors can also identify ACH credits deposited to their bank accounts to reconcile and appropriately apply to receivables. Follow this link for more information: Vendor Resources.

Q.  How can I receive payment as direct deposit?      

A. By accessing the link to Vendor Resources, vendors can follow step-by-step instructions to set up a new direct deposit or change existing direct deposit information.

Q.  What if I have other questions? Who can I contact?   

A. Vendors may contact the following staff from the Financial Services Department of Legislative Management's Financial Services Unit.

Christy Gould:   (860) 240‑0204

Barbara Matthews: (860) 240‑0275

Susan Skehan:   (860) 240‑0140
