The field office (FO) uses the EDCS routing form to send folder documentation (i.e., medical evidence submitted by the claimant and not faxed into the Certified Electronic Folder (CEF), a paper Modular Disability Folder (MDF) associated with the CEF) to the receiving office.

When transferring a CEF, the Field Office (FO) has the option to print the EDCS routing form. If there is documentation to send, the FO

• •

  prints the routing from,

• •

  attaches it to the documentation, and

• •

  mails it to the receiving office.

If you are not sending documentation, there is no need to print the EDCS routing form

NOTE: Any component can print the EDCS Routing Form at any time through the “Print Forms” link in EDCS or eView.

 

The EDCS routing form contains the

• •

  office address information used to route the case from one office to another;

• •

  case identifying information including claimant name, SSN, claim type and claim level;

• •

  EDCS folder number sometimes used to search for the case in eView.

NOTE: The EDCS folder number is not a social security number (SSN).
