(ML 2821 Rev. 11-02)
(Manual Renumbered effective 04/01/2004 ML2914)
Once an application has been received in the county office, a case file must be constructed to contain that application and all other documents related to it. This case file becomes the recipient's permanent record. Each case number is unique to that recipient's case and is assigned by the computer system.
Each case file folder must be labeled using the name of the primary information (PI) person to accommodate the alphabetical filing system.
The outer case jackets of case files with tax data received through a computer match shall be labeled to clearly state "Caution: This file contains confidential Federal tax return information" (IEVS).
