How can I check the status of claims submitted? All claims submitted by an employer can be seen in the dashboard on the main page in SimpliGov. Please see the “status” column to see where the claim is in the processing stage. Public employers of full-time, active firefighters are eligible for the reimbursement for firefighters who have been active for 3 years. If an individual switches departments, but has been a firefighter for 3 years, does the employer qualify for reimbursement? If an individual switches departments, the employer is able to request for reimbursement, as the individual has been an active firefighter; however, individual firefighters are only entitled to screenings every 3 years. For example: Firefighter Joe is screened in 2024 through ABC Town, and ABC Town received the reimbursement. Firefighter Joe transfers to DEF Town in 2026. Firefighter Joe is not eligible for another screening until 2027 and DEF Town cannot request reimbursement for him until 2027. If the public employer hires a firefighter who has transferred departments, it is important for the employer to know when the firefighter was last screened so the employer does not seek reimbursement for a firefighter before they are eligible for their next screening. The SimpliGov system tracks by individual firefighter, not employer.
