Our records show that the applicant is registered with the Department’s Online Services. In October 2012, the Forest Service informed its clients who were registered online (including this applicant) that their future premium payment applications would be processed online and that therefore it would not be sending paper Form 4s (i.e. the annual premium application form) for 2013 to those clients. This letter, however, invited the applicants to request a paper Form 4 in the event that they did not wish to apply for their 2013 annual premium using the online system. Our records show that the above named applicant did not request a paper Form 4.

As he has not applied online, a paper Form 4 will be sent to him by post shortly to enable him to apply for his premium. He may still apply online for his 2013 premium, or complete the paper Form 4 when he receives it. To reset his login details for the Department’s Online Services, the applicant can contact the Department’s helpdesk at 1850 252 118.
