When the FO receives a fully favorable determination on an IR from the DDS, the Electronic
Disability Collect System (EDCS) Action Page displays an Action Item (AI) indicating
“Informal Remand-DDS Determination Added.” When opened the AI shows “Decision: Allowance-Informal
Remand (IR)”.
To process a fully favorable IR determination:
-
•
Use the procedures in DI 12010.025 – Action Following a Favorable Determination by the Disability Determination Service
(DDS) in Informal Remand Cases
-
•
Review the case to ensure both the application date and onset dates are correct.
-
•
Update the appeal decision in MCS/MSSICS
REMINDER: The HO receives this information via their Case Processing and Management System
(CPMS from the DDS); do not fax a copy of the SSA-5002 to ODAR.
NOTE: The eView Case Selection screen and Case Status screen show the case as closed at
the hearing level. The Claims Action History reflects that a DDS Determination was
made at the Hearing Level. The next action on Claims Action History is reflected when
the HO dismisses the hearing.
