As an update, the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) continues to work closely with the Treasury as they conduct their reviews of payments related to the Supports Coordination Organization (SCO) Pay-for-Performance initiative. While they cannot provide a timeframe for completion of the reviews, it should be noted that payment is generally seen by providers within 2–3 days of approval versus waiting for the next payment cycle. All Pay-for-Performance payments are under review; however, there is nothing specifically required from any SCOs at this point in time.

ODP will continue to monitor payment status and will send updates as they receive new information.
