- Rebates: Upon receiving a payment from your customer and applying the payment to an invoice, the job's rebate will be added to your Denim Cash account.

Criteria for Reviewing Denim Cash Requests
Before approving or rejecting a request for Denim Cash, Denim's risk team evaluates the request for following factors. Additional factors may also be considered.
-
Aging and Disputes
- Denim will review the client's open aging to identify disputed invoices and invoices older than 75 days and unlikely to be paid before recourse terms apply.
- Disputes and overdue invoices may result in a Denim Cash release smaller than requested or a rejected request.
-
Client account activity
- If the client’s last funded invoice is 14 or more days ago, Denim will typically hold DC until all outstanding invoices are paid.
- Clients are considered in default after 21 days of inactivity.
- Unforwarded Payments: If the client has received funds that should have been paid to Denim, and the payment has not been forwarded to Denim, the request will likely not be approved.
- Contractual Default: If the client is in default per the factoring agreement, they are ineligible for a DC release.
-
Recent Releases
- PRMs will review the date of the last DC release.
- Denim reserves the right to limit releases to no more than one per week.

Negative Denim Cash
If your Denim Cash account is negative, this likely means you had some invoices charged back, or you over-advanced a contractor. To get your account back in the green, Denim will recover the negative amount from your client advances, or you might be asked to send the negative amount to Denim.
