DI 40101: Processing Center (PC) Processing of Initial Claims

BASIC (12-10)

The Great Lakes Program Service Center’s Disability Processing Branch (GLPSC-DPB) processes:

  • dual eligibility claims for all career RR and surviving dependent Railroad (RR) annuitants, and

  • joint freeze cases.

    NOTE: These cases require coordination with the Railroad Retirement Board.

The Field Office (FO) takes the initial claim(s) in EDCS and transfers to GLPSC-DPB (V32) for processing. Upon completion, GLPSC-DPB returns the case to the FO for final processing and adjudication.
