Mail is delivered to F/EA at <<address>> each day that federal mail is delivered. F/EA receptionist sorts mail. <<Staff Title>> is notified when mail has been sorted and is ready for Customer Service to pick up. <<Staff Title>> assigns staff to pick up F/EA mail from receptionist. 

<<Staff Title>> (or assigned staff) opens all mail immediately upon receipt. Mail is immediately date stamped. F/EA mail is sorted into categories and placed in applicable inboxes within 3 hours of delivery. Staff assigned to each inbox review and process mail by the close of each business day.
