How to Submit Your Documentation Online
Step 1. Prepare Requested Documents
Scan or take a picture of requested documents with your computer or mobile device.
Save the document in one of the accepted file formats: PDF, JPEG, bitmap and GIF. File size must be under 5mb. (HINT - Free Scanner apps will turn a picture taken with your cell phone into a scanned document.)
Save all documents on the computer or mobile device that you will use to submit your documentation.
Note: A single file upload can have multiple pages instead of submitting a page per single file upload.
Enter the Claimant’s Last Name exactly as it appears on the letter you received from us.
Review the list of Requested Documents.
Submit electronic copies of the documents by browsing and selecting files on your computer or mobile device.
Click ‘Browse’ to upload documents from computer/device. If you have more than three documents to upload, you must repeat the upload process again after uploading your first three documents.
