On June 30, 2006, the State Fiscal Year 2006 (SFY 2006) draws to a close. This article outlines the closeout timeline for your contracted SFY 2006 substance abuse prevention services.

All SFY 2006 contracted services must be completed on or before June 30, 2006

This includes all direct service sessions as well as any supplies or materials that were to be ordered as part of your Benchmark SFY 2006 contract. In order to receive payment for SFY 2006 services, all invoicing for SFY 2006 contracted services MUST be submitted through PreventionIdaho.net by July 14, 2006, 5:00 PM PT This means that prior to the deadline, all attendance data and outcomes data (if applicable) must be entered into the data system and all invoices must be submitted if you wish to receive payment for the services you have completed. According to your contract, invoices received after the July 14, 2006 deadline WILL NOT be processed.

Benchmark strongly encourages all prevention providers to work diligently to enter their remaining attendance and outcomes data and submit their invoices by the deadline. Because your contract is based on a fee for service model, any unused funds remaining in your contract as a result of undelivered or uninvoiced services will be returned to the State.

We appreciate the substance abuse prevention work everyone did this year, and we have enjoyed working with you to continue to advance the practice of substance abuse prevention in Idaho. Information on SFY 2007 substance abuse prevention funding will be coming soon.
