Should I list the old legacy file number on EAMS forms or the new EAMS case number?

All forms will accept either number. If the case is filed on or after Aug. 25, 2008 it will only have an EAMS case number. When a new case is opened in EAMS you will be notified of the new EAMS case number by your selected method of service: U.S. mail, e-mail, or fax. If it’s a legacy case and you have both the legacy case number and the EAMS case number, it is strongly suggested that you use the EAMS case number. New cases will only have an EAMS case number.
