Your Application Has Been Approved. What Happens Next?
Wait to hear from the Monitoring Firm. At the time of application, you selected which Monitoring Firm you would like to use for your 2024 Monitoring Visit. You have been placed on the Monitoring Firm's contact list and they will contact you to schedule the Monitoring Visit according to their scheduling policy. Monitoring Firms will call 2-3 weeks before the visit to set up a time and date. Monitoring Visits will begin in mid July. Any questions about scheduling or invoicing should go directly to the Monitoring Firm. Contact information here.
