the month prior to the month in which the annual
agreement is due.
What needs to be done when the annual
agreement is received?
The returned ABP 898-16 is reviewed for
completeness and shown as received on LEADER.
What needs to be done when the annual
agreement is NOT received?
If the individual fails to return the ABP 898-16 by the
due date, non-compliance is automatically initiated.
This does not apply to NSAs.
