DI 44005.015 Dispatching Joint Freeze Cases (Except 20/40 Allowance Cases)
After you finish processing the SSA-831, follow these steps for dispatching the case
to the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB).
-
1.
Prepare a GLPSC-38 (Joint Freeze Transmittal)
-
•
Enter the Social Security Number.
-
•
Mark checkboxes as appropriate to indicate “agreement”, “disagreement”, area of disagreement,
etc.
-
•
Include any necessary remarks or medical development requests, citing Program Operations
Manual System (POMS) references as needed.
-
-
•
Staple the form to the freeze folder. Do not staple through or write on RRB’s bar
code.
-
2.
File the original SSA-831 in the freeze folder.
-
3.
Paperclip the “Data” and “Folder” copies on top of the freeze folder, and dispatch
the folder to RRB.
The Great Lakes Program Service Center-Disability Processing Branch (GLPSC-DPB) control
clerks will separate the copies of the SSA-831 upon dispatch, and deliver the “Folder”
copies to the Central Intake Area for scanning into the paperless processing system,
as non-actionable documents.
Forward the data copy to the Wilkes-Barre DOC:
Wilkes-Barre Direct Operations Center
SSA WBDOC
P O Box 8300
Wilkes-Barre PA 18767-8300

4.
RRB will release the freeze allowance or denial notice for the joint freeze determinations.
-
•
Joint Freeze allowance - SSA-L810

Joint Freeze denial - SSA-L813.1
