I would think the form that was signed when the triggering event occurred would be the applicable form to use. For continuous or repetitive services the form must be resigned annually. I’ll see what I can find out.

Hi Mary,

Question about the new ABN form, do agencies need to have all clients resign a current ABN form once the old has expired? Or does it only need to be used for triggering events/new clients.
