Why Awaiting Milestone, second milstone not active yet ? Client approved payment of first milstone.

I approved fixed price contract with a client. I successfully completed my first milestone and also client approved payment as well. Why second milestone not active yet ? Becuase my client haven't funded second milestone yet OR some other reason ?? I attach image for more detail.

The client has not funded the second milestone. Make sure you do not work on the contract until the second milestone is funded.

Your client has not funded the second milestone yet.

 

Do not do any more work until the second milestone is funded. It is best to have the job fully funded on the first milestone, because right now, the only money you are guaranteed is the amount the client funded ($40), and that's it.

Hi Nasir,

 

Ask your client to fund the second Milestone in order for you to start working on it.

I don't know what the rule for 2021 is for this problem, but I had a similar one: first milestone completed and paid, but second still inactive. I've tried to reach out for the client but they're unreachable. I don't have a JSS yet, nor I am a rising talent (I'm new). Does it affect my striving towards RT or JSS?
