Step 4: Declare and Review

The final step is to fill out a short questionnaire that is meant to serve as a final reminder for you to review all the requisite components of your claim. If you are confident that you are in compliance with all the requirements after making all the declarations, you may proceed to select “Review” at the end of the page.
