When the NH files a claim for DIB based on work performed since the prior determination, or now meets the DIB insured status requirement; and EC or ICERS shows that a joint RRB-SSA freeze decision has been made,

• •

  Secure application(s) and complete EDCS,

• •

  Document prior claim information in EDCS, and

• •

  Transfer the claim to Branch 2A of Disability Case Review, V32 for processing.

If EC or ICERS shows that a joint RRB-SSA freeze has been established, the FO:

• •

  Takes the initial application,

• •

  Secures all proofs, and

• •

  Sends the completed RIB, auxiliary, or survivor claim to the servicing PSC via A101 for the necessary award. If the claim is a denial, process through EC or MACADE.
