When and How to use the “True and Correct As of (Date)” Statement

Today’s TIP is when to use the “True and Correct as of <Date>” Statement.

When paperwork is being signed & dated after the “due date,“ it must include the statement “True & Correct as of <certification effective date>”.

Use this below procedure unless otherwise guided by Compliance or your Supervisor:

1. Documents should be signed and dated with the current date
2. Under that signature write the statement “True & Correct as of <effective date>”
3. The person then must Initial the “True & Correct Statement”

• Example – A Certification is due on 8/1/2024. The resident is unable to sign it until 8/8/2024.
  • The resident signs and dates 8/8/2024, then under that signature writes “True & Correct as of 8/1/2024” and initials.
