A party questioning an arbitrator’s finding on a deferment challenge may now submit a Post-Decision Inquiry to have the matter reviewed if the arbitrator has made an entry error. For example, the arbitrator’s justification indicates the deferment was allowed, but the arbitrator incorrectly selected the deferment was not allowed. Note: Only these types of discrepancies may be reviewed and amended; otherwise, a deferment finding is not subject to review or appeal.
