What does "All RSR Recipient Reports must be in ‘Certified’ status” mean?

What does it mean that “all RSR Recipient Reports must be in ‘Certified’ status” by the deadline?

Each Provider Report’s funded services are pulled from their recipient’s finalized Recipient Report. Recipients must complete and ‘Certify’ their reports by February 1st to give their providers sufficient time to complete and submit their reports. After a Recipient Report has been completed, validated, and checked for any alerts, a button that says “Certify” will appear that recipients can click to indicate that they have completed their portion of the RSR and their providers can begin their submissions. After February 1st, recipients cannot make any changes to their Recipient Reports in the RSR web system and must contact Ryan White Data Support to make changes on their behalf.
