- Electronic Only: No longer receive paper notices, only receive email and text alerts that a new notice has been sent to you. You can view the notice immediately in Manage My Case. This option is good for people whose address changes frequently. If an alert email or text bounces back, we will restart sending paper notices to the last address we have on file for you.
