Hi there Michelle,
Thank you for your hard work on my request — it's very much appreciated. I do have a question though. When I go to the link, I can see installations 1,2,3 and 6, but not four or five. Can you please check and let me know how many total installments I should have at this point, and if any completed installments are missing from the folder, add them?
Thank you,
Natalie St. John

From: Department of Labor and Industries

Natalie,

I’m not sure why some of the installments were not there. I put installments 4 and 5 back in there for you. The link will expire October 21, 2022, so you will need to download any records you want to keep by then.
