If the FO questions the DDS determination due to a technical factor of entitlement
(e.g., filing date, insured status, work issue), contact the DDS and decide with the
DDS if:
-
•
A possible reopening exists; and
-
•
The case needs to be returned to the DDS.
If the issue does not affect the DDS determination and the case does not need to be
returned to the DDS, the FO documents the discussion on an SSA-5002 (Report of Contact)
and adds it to the CEF. For the complete FO procedures, see Certified Electronic Folder
(CEF) Exclusions - DI 81010.030F.
