In order to catch representments, CMS will check the import alpha codes on application forms and if it detects that an alpha code has been submitted previously then it will show the Review Representment screen. Also if the agent indicates that the case is a representment through the digital submission process then CMS will show the Review Representment screen.

(This will not catch all instances of representments, e.g. if the error was on the application form and the agent has generated a new form, so one but they do not select the representment option during the submission process. So even if you don't see the Review Representment screen, you should still check the title for previous rejections.)

If the Review Representment screen shows then either CMS has detected that the alpha code on the form has been submitted previouslypreviously or an agent has identified the case as a representment.

• To avoid charging the agent twice, an LRS application will NOT be auto-created in this instance.
  • If there is an open LRS application that appears to match your case then DO NOT USE THIS APPLICATION FOR YOUR CASE as it will be part of a different CMS case.
    • Search CMS for that title/application number to check the status of that other case.

  • Sometimes CMS will show this screen after a form has failed to scan properly, in which case it will show a Case ID of "BF" plus numbers. 
    • If this happens, select Not Applicable and then continue to process the case as an ordinary INT type.
  • If the case appears to be a duplicate rather than a representment or does not appear to be related then follow the rejection referral process. 
    • Make sure you include the Case ID of the previous case in the referral note as the referral officers will not have access to this screen.
