1. Overpayment investigation information;
2. The investigation decision; and
3. Claim information, when applicable.

The W-2 agency must also upload all of the following required into the EA Overpayment SharePoint:

1. Copies of all notices and Emergency Assistance (EA) Overpayment Worksheet forms (DCF-F-5822-E) when the investigation results in a claim;
2. Copies of any documentation related to overpayment or fraud investigations; and
