For more information on disabling or turning off email forwarding, forwarding only specific messages, forwarding to multiple accounts, and forwarding emails from another email service to Gmail, please visit this Google Support page:
Automatically Forward Gmail Messages to Another Account.
(INTERNAL USE ONLY.) For setting up forwarding on accounts that have been deleted recently (7 days or less, in most cases), the account holder will need to be called to be verified and confirm the desired forwarding destination. Then transfer to T1 - System Operations.
