For further step-by-step instructions (via screenshots) please refer to PBGC's How to Edit, Review, Certify, Approve and Submit a Filing demo.
All screen prepared filings follow this sequential status order:
Create Filing > Draft > Pending Actuary Approval (if required) > Pending Payment Info > Pending Admin Approval > Submitted
The approval buttons from the Filing Details page are only available based on associated filing team member roles. See charts below for a all possible status transitions.
The concepts of “routing”, "retrieving" and “holding” a premium filing no longer exist in the new My PAA.
Instead, filing statuses automatically update in a defined sequence (see above or detailed charts below) and are viewable to all filing team members from the Filing Details page. Once a new filing status occurs, an automatic email will be sent to all filing team members who have the associated role based on the current filing status. The email will inform that user action is required on that specific Filing ID, based on their role. If you do not want a team member to receive an automated filing status email; remove that role as the Filing Coordinator or disable the automatic filing status emails all together.
Two new features have been added to the Team Members list from the Plan Detail page:
- Disable Automatic Filing Status Emails
- Send personalized Message Notifications to any other team member.
Other Notes
Any team member with the Filing Preparer role can edit data within a filing when the filing is in Draft status.
Filing Coordinators can add the Filing Preparer role to any team member that wants to review/make filing edits in the actual data entry screens. All other Filing statuses are meant for review and certification only.
In addition, all team members (all roles) can view/download a draft version of the premium filing receipt from the Filing Details page.
