"Could not initiate payment" error on CheckPay

I use both CheckPay and BillPay successfully. Today I added a new vendor and tried to use CheckPay for the vendor. Everything went fine up to and including the payment summary. When I clicked on the button to make the payment, I got the message: "Could not initiate payment. Additional information: The payment account is not verified."

I just today did a BillPay successfully with the same payment account, so it's clearly some issue with CheckPay specifically. I clicked on the "Sync" button to make sure and got a message that the account is successfully sync'ed.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm running Quicken Premier for windows. Version R32.12 on Windows 10.

    For everyone's information: I called Support and everything looked like it should work correctly, but didn't. We tried logging out and back in to my account via the desktop Quicken app and that didn't fix it. The next step was to disable my checking account from within the and re-verify it for Bill Pay / Check Pay (Bills and Income tab, Settings (gear icon), Payment Accounts, Click on the account you're using then click Disable, Then re-enable from there). Re-verification will take a couple of days so we'll see...

    For everyone's information. The issue is now resolved. Even though everything looked good with my setup, for some reason disabling and re-verifying my payment account as described in the previous post, did the trick.
