Verification Service API

An API that provides a unified, standard interface to the data sources needed to verify community engagement for the purpose of evaluating Medicaid eligibility.

About the Project

This project evolved out of the IVaaS tool for consent based verification. As the need for more complex forms of validation developed, it became clear that providing a way for agencies to integrate directly with an API was becoming increasingly useful, particularly for ex parte renewals. The ultimate goals of this and related projects is to remove as much friction as possible between the applicant and receiving their benefits by reducing the burden placed on them to manually provide evidence of eligibility.
