- The MSA must have been written or revised within six months of submission.
- Proposed or actual settlement amount
- Consent signed by the Injured Worker (See last page of MSA)
- Administration of the MSA Funds: Will the MSA funds be professionally administered or administered by the Injured Worker?
Turn Around Time: We strive to forward all WCMSA submissions to CMS for review within 24-48 business hours of receiving all necessary documentation required by CMS.
As of 2018, review and approval time for submissions is approximately 33 business days. On some occasions, when CMS feels they do not have enough information to render a decision, a "development" letter will be sent requesting additional records or documentation. Submissions that are flagged for development will experience increased processing time, typically an additional 30 days from the date CMS receives the requested information.
