If you have received a copy of an adjudication application, you will be required to prepare an adjudication response within 10 business days of receiving the application. This is your opportunity to outline your reasons for withholding money. Please note only reasons for withholding money that were presented in the payment schedule may be expanded on during the adjudication process. If you did not provide a payment schedule, you are not eligible to provide an adjudication response. 

You can find further information about how to respond to an application for adjudication in the following video and fact sheet. A template form has also been provided to assist you in making an adjudication response.
