What are the different types of Form CMS-3427?
There are several varieties of Form CMS 3427:
A single-line CMS (CMS-3427-A), a blank Form CMS 3427 in the single-line format, the front of which is blank.
A four-line CMS (CMS-3427-B), a form with two single-lines and two double-lines (front and back) on each page that allows for printing from two separate paper sizes and a number of printing devices. Each form page is also blank. The form pages can be printed the same size that are designated for the form as a standalone page when using the CMS-3427-B form.
A five-line CMS (CMS-3427-C), which is a form in the single-line format, the back facing blank.
A six-line CMS (CMS-3427-D), which is a form in the two-line format, the back facing blank.
Two other types of Form CMS are not classified as single-line or five-line formats (and, therefore, are not currently offered by Form CMS):
An eight-line CMS, which is similar in style to CMS-3427-A, but includes the following sections: The signature on the front of the form with a line at the bottom for the signature of any person appearing on the form, A space for the signature of the person who will determine the disposition of the property and a space for the signature of any other person who will perform the duties under the order, All persons who are involved in the disposition must be listed on the form, and A space for the signature of the person who performed the duties under the order. Any of these sections may continue on the form, if it otherwise complies with the provisions of subpart C of this part. The return address is left blank; there are no lines for the name, address, and telephone number to be typed, therefore, it is recommended you place a check mark in the space in the space designated for a check mark.
A standard single-line form (CMS-3427-A), printed using the paper size and type designations that apply to the standard Form CMS 3427; the blank Form CMS 3427 is to the right of the signature area.
