# Invoice Management

**Invoice Management** is an important part of the Participant Lifecycle. Invoices are the primary mechanism that Maica uses to get you paid. This could include sending Invoices to Plan Managers, Participants, Related Parties, or claim funds directly from the NDIS via our integration.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When claiming, you are effectively requesting funds from a Participant's NDIS funding allowance (Plan) so it's important to be sure you have authorisation to do so. Maica is not responsible for submitting unauthorised or inappropriate claims to the NDIS; the required business process to manage claiming is the responsibility of the user.
