Think
back to the time you were in a fall LTO and submitted your QECO category change
for the first time to the Board, and through no fault of your own, had your
QECO processing delayed beyond the Dec. 31st submission deadline. Were
you paid retroactively back to the start of your LTO ? If this is the case please
e-mail us, asap at: etfotvot@gmail.com
