Electronic folder (EF) established:

Always fax all WC/PDB proof documents into the EF. Documents can still be faxed into the EF if the Electronic Disability Collect System (EDCS) case is closed. See Faxing Documents into the Certified Electronic Folder (CEF) Using Barcodes, DI 81010.090. If Processing Center (PC) action is required, also fax material into the Paperless Processing Center (PPC) system. These systems will allow for later viewing of proof documents by FO and PC personnel.

Paper folder established:

Fax all WC/PDB proof documents into the Non-Disability Repository for Evidentiary Documents (NDRed). See GN 00301.310, The NDRed Application. If the paper folder is present in the FO, retain a copy of the source proof in the paper file. If PC action is required, also fax the material into Paperless.

Electronic folder (EF) established:

Always fax all WC/PDB proof documents secured by PC personnel into the EF, in addition to Paperless, so the FO can view the documents (remember, FOs cannot access Paperless). See Faxing Documents into the CEF Using Barcodes, DI 81010.090.

Paper folder established:

Always scan or fax all WC/PDB proof documents into NDRed, so the FO can view the documents (remember, FOs cannot access Paperless). See GN 00301.310 for the NDRed Application. Retain a copy of the source proof in the paper file, if the folder is physically present when the action is taken.
