Appeals Council Goes Electronic?

June 14, 2010

Author: Catherine M. Callery (Kate)| Louise M. Tarantino

If you haven’t seen it yet, you will soon.  Attached to some Appeals Council correspondence is a notice entitled “Electronic Disability Claims Processing.”  Yes, the Appeals Council is going electronic.  As more and more e-dib cases wend their way through the appeals process, some are obviously making their way to the Appeals Council.  In these cases, the Appeals Council will provide you with a copy of the file and hearing recording on a compact disc (CD).  The Appeals Council will also require that you submit additional material evidence via ERE (Electronic Records Express); the contract scanner in London, Kentucky; or faxing into the electronic folder at the Appeals Council.  The future has arrived!
