Cases on which a totalization benefit is being paid (TSC of A1, A3, or E2) or on which
a totalization claim is pending (TSC of P1 or P2), remain under DIO jurisdiction and
should never be transferred. If the TSC has been posted to the MBR, any attempt to
transfer a case with one of those TSCs should result in a MACADE exception. Cases
with a TSC of DI, D2, or D4 should generally be retained in DIO in the event reconsideration
requests are filed.
Only cases where all beneficiaries are domestic, non-totalization RSDI benefits are
being paid and the TSC is either D3 or T1 should be transferred to another PSC or
DIO. The presence of a TSC of D3 or T1 will not block processing in other PSCs or
ODO.
