Compensation recovery decisions

When updates are recorded in the Compensation Management System (CMS), a corresponding BLA is created and issued.

The system sends BLAs to customers and/or third parties:

  • for every action that involves a reviewable decision, and
  • to advise of a compensation recovery decision

Viewing BLA and associated activities

To view BLAs that are:

  • recent, see the History Summary (HS) screen
  • older, use the Archiving and Culling Engine (ACE)

See Viewing or reissuing a letter or electronic message.

The Resources page contains Intranet links and a list of all CMS BLA letter codes and descriptions.
