Overview
BEACON 3.0 will be implemented shortly. BEACON 3.0 will have the same practical application as BEACON 2.0 with some added capabilities. Unlike its predecessor, BEACON 3.0 is a web-based application. A number of improvements have been made to the application, including:

• a new Home Page;
• new Tools to assist all users;
• Eligibility Explorer has been replaced by the Electronic Case Folder (ECF);
• the ESP Services workflow has been redesigned;
• windows are called pages and have a new look and feel; and
• many case maintenance activities are broken out as their own workflow types.

Purpose of Memo
The purpose of this Field Operations Memo is to introduce the new BEACON 3.0 Home Page and to identify new BEACON 3.0 Tools. With BEACON 3.0 implementation, all BEACON 3.0 Tools will be available to staff. Although all Tools will be available for use, some Tools will not initially be used. This information can be found in the BEACON Tools section of this memo.
