Registered CE sources submit electronically signed copies of CE reports using the
ERE “click and sign” feature. This produces a signature that is electronically linked
to, and included with, the CE report in the certified electronic folder (CEF). The
ERE CE certification language reads:
“I am certifying, under penalty of perjury, that I have been authorized or contracted
by the Disability Determination Services to examine the claimant named in the attached,
and produced a consultative examination report for that claimant. The report is accurate.
By checking the “I have read and agreed with the above” check box below, I am certifying
that I personally conducted, or personally participated in conducting, the consultative
examination and have electronically signed the report contained within.”
NOTE: For paper folders, the CE report must contain a printout of the ERE CE certification
language along with the ERE signature. The ERE signature shows the printed name of
the signer or the signer’s personal identification number (PIN)/user name, and the
month, day, and year of the signature.
IMPORTANT: A signature produced by a CE source’s own electronic record keeping system does not
meet our requirements for an acceptable CE report signature.
