Approving an Application Packet

Once the State has reviewed each Application Packet item and has identified each item as “Approved”, the State can now approve the Application Packet.

For new Contracting Entities, two levels of approval are required.  Initially, an authorized State user would select the Recommend Approval button on the Contracting Entity's Application Packet screen. Once the button is selected, the Approve button is activated on the SFA’s Application Packet screen.  Once the Approve button is selected, the Application Packet status is set to “Approved” and the SFA can begin submitting claims for reimbursement based on the approved Application Packet’s data.

For existing Contracting Entities, only a single level of approval is required.  Once the renewal applications and required packet items have all been reviewed and approved by TDA, the State user selects the Approve button (i.e., the Recommend Approval button is not active) on the SFA's Application Packet screen. Once the Approve button is selected, the Contracting Entity can begin submitting claims for reimbursement.
