FAQs

Can I still ask for support on the cfacts-community slack channel? 

If you have a question for the larger community of users or just a quick question about CFACTS in general, you still use slack. We recommend submitting a ticket when asking for permissions, troubleshooting, or an inquiry. 

Who do I contact if I need to expediate the request?

If you need your request handled quickly, please email Kallah Hatcherian kallah.hatcherian@cms.hhs.gov and cc Juan Corral juan.corral@cms.hhs.gov. Please include the ticket number or summary and reason for expediating. Additionally, you can also post your question on the #cfacts_community slack channel, other CFACTS users might know the solution and CFACTS team monitors the channel.
