I have a member who incurred some medical expenses that had to be paid immediately. They used a credit card and now needs to be reimbursed for that expense. The system won't allow me write a check directly to the member using Fast Offering funds. Is there any way to do this?

What does it do? Policy says that payments should be made to service provides rather than members when possible but I was aware that they system actually prevented it. Are you sure it isn't a warning that can be overridden?

Just a thought. If the reimbursement check is made out to the bank that issued the credit card, the ward can mail it to the bank and pay "on account" which is not giving the reimbursement direct to the member. One would expect the bill from the medical company would be provided to justify the FO expense. I would also recommend some documentation showing the individual paid the medical bill with the credit card that is being reimbursed, which should close the loop on the matter.
