main purpose of EAMS is to integrate the DWC’s multiple unit files into one seamless case management system. In EAMS, this is done using “integrated case” and “product delivery cases.” The integrated case is the umbrella, which contains overarching injury information and under which each of the product delivery cases reside. The product delivery cases are the unit-specific portions of the case file in EAMS. For purposes of filing, you need to know the Product Delivery Unit (PDU) names:

At a conference on the case, you may ask to be added in the applicant – defendant section on the ADJ Case Home Page. Note that clerks and secretaries are instructed to update the applicant – defendant section from the list of case participants before sending out notices, etc.Do not email the EAMS Help Desk, Central Registration Unit (CRU), E-Forms or the UDQ operators to have this done.

A: Go to the DWC Web site, click on the link to the uniform assigned names database for claims administrator offices and representative offices under "working in EAMS." This database can be used to identify whether a uniform assigned name exists for an administrator or a representative. The name may differ slightly from what you would expect it to look like. If you cannot find the name but think it is in the database, try searching by using the first three letters of the name you would expect to find and the ZIP Code.
