the action has not been taken, or
the information has not been received.
B. PROCEDURE
Get a QRSL/MBR/PHUS query to determine if the action has been taken and/ or check carefully to be sure the requested information has not been received.
1. Priority Requests
If the requested action has not been taken on a priority request by the followup date, transmit a followup 2560 request to the PC.
NOTE: Based on the PC status, the FO can issue payment by means of the Critical Payment System (CPS).
EXCEPTION: If the case does not meet the requirement for CPS, send a Critical Case Request to the PC.
If the request has not been processed by the time the F/U date matures, FO management will contact the PC module manager to coordinate CPS and arrange for processing.
If a satisfactory arrangement cannot be made, the FO management will contact the RO for assistance.
2. NonPriority Requests
