If the examiner makes a new determination, prepare an SSA-831 (Disability Determination
and Transmittal) SSA-832 (Cessation or Continuance of Disability or Blindness Determination
and Transmittal- Title XVI), or SSA-833 (Cessation or Continuance of Disability or
Blindness Determination and Transmittal- Title II) per normal reopening procedures.
See Completion of Form SSA-831-U5 in Title II Reopening Cases - DI 27530.015 and Completion of Form SSA-831-U5 in Title XVI Reopening Cases - DI 27530.025.
The determination is added to the CEF and the FO is alerted on the EDCS Actions Page
for necessary FO action.
If the examiner decides there is no change to the original Determination (ND); the
examiner selects an ND reason through their case processing system “Original Decision
Not Changed.” Since there is no additional action for the FO to take, the FO does
not receive an alert on the EDCS Action Page. See Processing “No Determination” Claims
- DI 81020.127.
