5 | How can an authorized agent find out the postdeparture status of one of their USPPI clients? |
An authorized agent or carrier will need to get in touch with the USPPI to find out their postdeparture filing status. The USPPI will receive a notification from the U.S. Census Bureau (Census) whether they are approved, denied, or revoked. This information can be passed on to the authorized agent acting on behalf of the USPPI. Due to confidentiality, Census client representatives can not share with any other company the postdeparture status of another company. | |
