Round 1 Updates:
2nd quarter Form C is to be RECEIVED by CBIC no later than July 29, 2011.
Updated ABN: The latest version of the ABN (with the release date of 3/2011 printed in the lower left hand corner) is now available for immediate use and can be accessed via the link below. In order for providers and suppliers to have time to transition to using the newly posted notice, mandatory use of this version begins on November 1, 2011. All ABNs with the release date of 3/2008 that are issued on or after November 1, 2011 will be considered invalid.
The mandatory use date has been changed from September to November to accommodate those providers and suppliers with pre-printed stockpiles of ABNs so that they have additional time to exhaust their supplies of the outgoing ABN. Go to http://www.cms.gov/BNI/02_ABN.asp to view the information and download the ABN.
