Payee Data Record Each State department’s accounting office must have a copy of the Contractor’s Payee Data Record (Std. 204) in order to process payments.

CAL-CARD INVOICING

All CAL-Card invoices are to be processed separately from other payment methods and include the elements identified in Article #25, Invoicing. CAL-Card invoices shall be submitted to the CAL-Card account holder.
