Filings Awaiting Approval  

When you log in as a Clerk, the first screen you see is the 'Approve Filings' which lists the filings assigned to you as shown below.

The 'Refresh' button simply refreshes the list. The reason you would use the Refresh button is that there might be new filings assigned to you. Since the web is a stateless machine it does not automatically update the screen when new filings are assigned to you. To see the most recent list of new filings assigned to you, you must press the Refresh button.

Each entry in the list represents a filing that has been assigned to you to review and either approve or reject. The column headings can be used to sort the list. For example, you might want to sort based on 'DC Case No.' or by Emergency Requests (!). Following is a description of each column heading:

• ! exclamation - Identifies that the Emergency button was selected by the filer.
• Docket No. - The CMS docket number and is also the link to the Approve Filing process for that specific entry.
• Document Category - The category selected by the filer. Clicking on the plus (+) icon displays a list of documents associated with this entry if there are more than one.
• Submitted By - Represents who the filer was.
• Received Date/Time - Is asssociated with a filing when it is received by the Clerk Review process.
• Days - Represents the number of days the filing has been in the Clerk Review queue.

From this list you click on one of the links to review each filing Approve Filing. After you approve or reject a filing that entry is removed from your list. The review filing screen also allows you to assign a filing to another clerk. This action would also remove the filing from your list of assignments.
