Are old cases being scanned in EAMS?
Cases that are active (that is, where a hearing is scheduled or where other significant action is being taken) may be scanned into EAMS prior to the hearing. Inactive cases with no expectation of future action will not be scanned unless the case becomes active. All information currently in a legacy system (a current system of record, like DEU’s system or the WCAB online system) will be converted and accessible through EAMS, but no documents associated with inactive cases will be scanned immediately after EAMS becomes active. The division will decide what to do with very old inactive cases now at the State Resource Center (SRC) or in storage at local offices at some point in the future.
