Many utility companies serving District offices have a billing cycle requiring payment within a very short time frame. By the time the invoice is received, a voucher is created and sent to the Finance Office, there may be insufficient time to meet the invoice's due date. There is an alternative payment process for these utilities. Members may authorize these companies to send their invoices directly to the Finance Office for payment.
Possible Utilities
*Cable
*Electric
*Telephone Bills, including cellular
*Water
Only utility accounts in good standing, i.e., with only current charges due, are eligible for inclusion in the Expedited Utilities Plan. For more information, please contact your Financial Counselor.
Invoice Information
For proper delivery and identification, the invoice should be addressed as follows:
Office of Finance

When the invoices are received in the Finance Office, they are processed immediately and payments are sent directly to the utility company. These payments are
reflected on the following month's Monthly Financial Statement.
