Estimating & Workflow
Supplemental payment
The additional payment a carrier issues after a supplement is approved.
On a real claim
A supplemental payment is the additional check a carrier issues after a supplement is approved. On a claim the initial payment and the supplemental payment are usually separate disbursements, sometimes weeks apart. What goes wrong: a contractor treats the first check as final and stops working the file, or files one lump supplement so late the money is held up for months. Check that the payment matches the approved supplement line by line before you close the job.
