That looks OK. Maybe the problem is somewhere else in your code. Are you sure that the specialSignCheckBox variable in this method is referring to the right instance of the right check box? You could try printing specialSignCheckBox.isSelected() to confirm that you are getting the correct value at around line 52.
ps: You define the specialSignCheckBox parameter as an Object, so its surprising that specialSignCheckBox.isSelected() will even compile, based on the code fragment you posted.
