If a claim exists in MCS or the Modernized Supplemental Security Income Claims System
(MSSICS):
-
•
Create a case in EDCS to propagate the i3368 to EDCS.
-
•
Review the propagated i3368 for completeness;
-
•
Contact the claimant, proper applicant, or third party contact to resolve discrepancies
and collect any missing information.
-
•
Document changes in the EDCS 3368.
Complete the SSA–3369 in EDCS when necessary. See DI 11005.025.
-
•
Obtain a signed and dated SSA-827 - Authorization To Disclose Information To The Social
Security Administration - if the claimant did not submit one electronically; and
-
•
Transfer the claim to the Disability Determination Services (DDS) when complete.
It is not possible to propagate the i3368 to EDCS if a case for the claimant is already
pending at the DDS (e.g., the claimant filed an earlier Title XVI claim). If a case
for the claimant is already at the DDS, take the following actions:
-
•
Request an Internet query and print a copy of the i3368. See DI 81007.070C.
-
•
Compare the information on the i3368 to the EDCS 3368; and
-
•
Use the update-after-transfer (UAT) function in EDCS to record discrepancies or additional
information not in file. For details on the UAT, see DI 81010.095.
