I understand the confusion. The statement that you only have to verify if the CPO emails you is not contractually accurate. While it may be true (and I don’t know that it universally is) that the CPO sends out a reminder email regarding a required verification, that is not the trigger to indicate you have to verify or not. The pre month lookback is and your status is indicated on your schedule for the bid period. If the CPO forgot to email you, or you don’t have a valid email in DBMS, that would have zero bearing on your requirement to verify in accordance with the contract.
