Default PD - Chance of questions

I just submitted my executed PD project, and am wondering what the likelihood is of the PD committee requesting something else of me.

Given that it appears I'll now have to do a financial economics degree (pension field) I really don't want to have to put any more effort into this FSA.

I submitted my plan (no project) in September. I know about 7-8 others who did the same. I was the only one I know of that was reviewed. Most of the folks got their plans approved (and not reviewed) in the same day, believe it or not. Just hope to get lucky. In any case, my review took 2 weeks but nothing additional was requested.

Good Luck.

I also submitted mine in late September (no project) and the approval letter was dated a week and a half later. No questions asked.

I submitted my PD plan with a project mid-October. I have just started to get antsy about getting something back from the SOA.

How long can they take? Does having a project increase the time they take to review the submission?

What kind of questions can they ask?

I was told it takes 2 weeks. You can call and ask them to contact you by email if and when you are approved or if they have additional questions. They will know the date it was scheduled to come back from review. If there are questions, they contact you right away. At least, that's what I was told.

I think the sky is the limit with a plan that includes a project. If there's no project, they may ask for more detail.
