Once a sponsor’s Application Packet has been submitted, it must be reviewed by a state user. To find packets that have been submitted, state users can use the Sponsor Search feature to search for sponsors based upon application status. For new sponsors, when the applications and supporting documents in the Application Packet have all been reviewed and approved by CDE (Sponsor Application, Site and Seamless Site Applications, Checklist, FSMC) and the packet is ready for approval, the user simply clicks the Recommend Approval button on the sponsor's Application Packet screen. Once the button is clicked, the Approve button appears on the sponsor’s packet. Once the Approve button is clicked, the sponsor can begin submitting claims for reimbursement. The site updates the approval status line on the Applications menu with the date the package was approved and changes the packet status to Approved.
