The first follow-up alert will be generated on all medical review diaries 180 days after the initial selection of the case for review, unless:
a cessation is effectuated (title II), or
a cessation diary is established (title XVI).
Subsequent alerts will be generated at 90-day intervals and routed to the DDS location to alert the component that:
the CDR is past due, and
all actions should be expedited.
Central Processing will monitor the alerts until all actions have been completed. Central Processing will:
contact the DDS by phone or memorandum requesting the status of past due CDRs.
send a listing of the third and sixth follow-ups to Disability Adjudication (DA) to alert it to CDRs, which are backlogged in DA.
When follow-up alerts are received, process as follows:
Discard the follow-up alert.
Annotate the alert No Record.
Return the alert to the sending office.
Expedite the CDR, and
Make all necessary systems inputs.
System now annotated - Discard the follow-up.
System not annotated - Make the necessary system inputs and release the file as soon as possible.
When status requests are received from Central Processing or DA, notify the requesting office of the action taken.
