EAMS eFormsTraining Program:

• EAMS Introductory eForms Participant Training – The introductory eForms training is a downloadable self-paced training module in the form of a PowerPoint presentation that new Primary Administrators need to review, in addition to reading the EAMS E-form Filing Reference Guide, before they are able to start e-filing. After the Primary Administrator finishes the presentation and confirms they have read the EAMS E-form Filing Reference Guide, they can email EFORMS@dir.ca.gov for a quiz that will test their understanding of e-filing in EAMS. Requests should include the assigned ERN, UAN, and “eForm Quiz” in the subject line. Please note that a minimum score of 15 out of 20 is required before a Primary Administrator will be given their logon credentials.

• EAMS UDQ Training  – The unprocessed document queue (UDQ) training is a downloadable self-paced training module in the form of a PowerPoint presentation that assists Primary Administrators with understanding the types of errors that cause a batch to fail to the UDQ, as well as what happens to these batches after this occurs. E-filers that are identified as consistently having batches fail to the UDQ may receive limited access to EAMS until they complete this presentation and pass the UDQ quiz with a minimum score of 15 out of 20. Primary Administrators should email EFORMS@dir.ca.gov once they have successfully completed the UDQ quiz and reference their ERN, UAN, and “UDQ Quiz” in the subject line.

• Starting in January 2023, a monthly drop-in meeting hosted in Microsoft Teams will be offered to Primary Administrators to give them the opportunity to ask e-filing or UDQ related questions to DWC-EAMS experts. Due to size limitations, participants will be pre-selected based on a rotating schedule. Details will be emailed to Primary Administrators with scheduled dates and times as this information becomes available.
