Hi Donna
Reappointment will not begin until June 1st. At that time all MG appointments will be reset and then you will be able to go in and complete the reappointment process.

The reappointment process doesn't happen automatically - it has to be turned on. Reappointment will be turned on this morning soon after 8 AM.

The statewide office is not collecting the insurance fee for reappointment. Please check with your county coordinator, director or advisor about where to submit payments.

I completed all 3 portions for reappointment, but when I requested to print the document, there was "No Date, please complete" written on each line.
