Not big dollars but I am wondering if we now need to track all those PQDs more carefully. Clearly we cannot rely on UA to do this.
Good news, with no further follow-up from my side the PDQ's were corrected changing from Ineligible to a dollar amount! Hopefully (I can hope, can't I?
) they are doing some kind of audit to catch these things.
