The following components generally send CDR cases to the DDS in the State where the
claimant resides:
-
•
Office of International Operations (OIO)
-
•
Program Service Center (PSC)
-
If the claimant moves to another State or to a foreign country, the DDS that received
the case from SSA transfers the case to the DDS in the State where the claimant now
resides, or to the OIO, if the claimant moves to a foreign country. If a beneficiary
receives benefits under a primary number holder (NH) who has a foreign address, the
OIO has jurisdiction.
To transfer a case:
-
•
Certified electronic folder (CEF) – see Electronic Case Routing Before Final Determination
DI 81020.125.
-
•
Modular disability folder (MDF) – see Disability Determination Services (DDS) and
Social Security Administration (SSA) Jurisdictions – Claimant Moves DI 20101.035B.3.
