Goodwill Industries of America, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization. The Agency has contractual agreements with two Goodwill centers (Goodwill Industries of Jackson, Inc. and Goodwill Industries of South Mississippi, Inc.). The services provided are vocational evaluation, job readiness, and limited vocational training programs.
The counselor will forward to Goodwill a vendor authorization listing the service to be provided and all appropriate referral material. The counselor is to plan all anticipated services, but issue vendor authorizations as the client is referred for each service. Vendor authorizations should be issued for the maximum amount (i.e., according to the IPE). Vendor authorizations must be received in a timely manner. Goodwill will submit a signed statement detailing the number of days of service the client received in a given month to the referring counselor, as well as an individual client progress report. The referring counselor will approve the vendor authorization for payment in AACE and send the signed vendor authorization to finance for payment of the bill. Goodwill may submit the statement at the end of the month or at any time during the month for those who change service area or are closed from the program before the end of the month.
Counselors must participate in the staffing of the client receiving job readiness training. Staffing by telephone is recommended when travel is extreme or difficult to schedule.
