Commerce has established a new committee to facilitate the appeal process.
For claims where the reviewer has determined that there are non-eligible costs, every attempt will be made to obtain missing information before the claim is sent to the committee. When received, the committee will try to resolve the issues prior to making a reimbursement payment.
This is an effort by the Claim Review Section (Claims) to reduce the number of appeals, reduce the appeal backlog and be more consistent in review decisions.
