B. Menu-Related Questions and Answers.
(1) What
happens if I want to stop for a while? You can stop what you are
doing at any time by choosing the �Save/Exit� button. The data entered up
to that point will be saved for an appeal.
(2) How do I
save my information? Entries you made on the screen will be saved upon
exit if you have clicked on the back or continue buttons after you made those
entries. Entries will also be saved, if you click the
"Save/Exit" button within an Interview Section.
(3)
What will
happen if I walk away or forget to exit? e-Appeal will
automatically stop if you haven't saved an entry in 20
minutes; a 15 minute warning will appear on the screen.
A saved entry (by hitting back or continue button) resets the clock.
(4)
What are my options when I have
finished? You will be given six options
when you reach the end of e-appeal:
(a) submit (click
the "Validate Appeal" button to check your information to see if
everything required is entered); after you fix any missing/required data,
select the "Validate Appeal" button (available if you
select Submit from the top menu). If everything is OK, you can choose to submit
your appeal offline or online. If you choose to submit your appeal
offline, you must print the appeal and mail in the forms. If you choose
to submit online, you must select the office to which you would like to submit
your appeal. Following the screen prompts will send your application
electronically to MSPB. After submission, print the application
for your records.
