Are the proposal chevron steps fully completed including FICA/FUTA, SUTA SAWB, and/or SUTA credit approved and included in the TSR or addendum?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Not applicable
• D. Partially

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that every payroll-related item must be formally documented and approved in the proposal package to consider the steps complete. When you’re preparing a proposal, FICA/FUTA, SUTA SAWB, and any SUTA credits need to be reviewed, approved, and explicitly included in the TSR or addendum. If those items aren’t approved or aren’t reflected in the TSR or addendum, the chevron steps aren’t fully finished. That’s why the correct stance is No — the proposal hasn’t fully completed those payroll tax elements in the required documents. If these items were not applicable, or if only some were done, those would be different labels, but in this case they’re not fully completed and documented.
