Correct me if im wrong.
3 wire coming into the panel form the meter, the neutral is bonded to ground at the meter then proceeds to the main panel, in this case i do need a bonding jumper between the ground and neutral?
Now if i have a disconnect at the meter there will be a 3 wire with ground coming from the meter, in this case the ground bar and the neutral bar are not bonded?
Where is this referenced in the code?
Question two. (residential)
When is a disconnect required or not required at the meter? Code reference?
 
Your first means of disconnect is your service disconnect and 250.24(B) requires the bond there. After than point, 250.24(A)(5) prohibits a neutral (ground) to grounding connection

As far as the requirement for the outside disconnect, 230.70(A)(1) dictates that.

As augie stated, your main bonding jumper is required to be in the service disconnecting means enclosure.

On the supply side of the service disconnecting means, it is permitted to use the grounded conductor for grounding. See 250.142(A).
