What step follows HARM uploading MPO to CMS in the MPO processing cycle?

• A. AFO Processing
• B. HARM prepares MPO
• C. HARM verifies action
• D. AFO/DFAS distributes Output

Answer: (A)

The key idea is the flow of tasks from data entry to processing to distribution. After HARM uploads the MPO to the Case Management System, the next office takes over to actually process the MPO. That role is AFO Processing, which handles the tasks needed to move the MPO forward—validating data, placing it in the correct processing queue, and preparing it for the output stage. Once AFO Processing is complete, the output is then distributed by AFO/DFAS to the appropriate recipients. So the step immediately after uploading to CMS is AFO Processing.
