What is the difference between filing OCR forms and filing e-forms?
The basic difference is that e-forms are electronic and OCR forms are paper. Currently there are only two ways to get information into EAMS: by e-forms, which are submitted electronically over the Web, and by optical character recognition (OCR) paper forms, which are scanned into EAMS at the district offices. For more information about these two filing methods, check out the forms submission demonstration, the decision point presentation and the written information available on the “working in EAMS” Web site.. You will need to make a decision as soon as possible regarding which method you intend to use.
