For less than fully favorable determinations, the review component returns medical evidence of record (MER) technical corrective actions (TCA) to the adjudicating component using Form SSA-847-U3 (SSA Request for Case Action). An SSA-847-U3 requires mandatory corrective action.

Upon receipt of the return:

• •

  Obtain the medical documentation requested on the SSA-847-U3;

• •

  Prepare a revised determination, as applicable;

• •

  Update the personalized notice to include any evidence obtained because of the return; and

• •

  Return jurisdiction of the case to the review component for final disposition.
