NAPHSIS piloted the EVVE system with the Social Security Administration (SSA). The pilot commenced in August 2002 and ended in December 2003. At the peak of the pilot phase, users at SSA offices located in 26 states across the country were sending birth and death verification and certification query requests to eight participating vital records offices. These eight pilot states were Colorado, Hawaii, Mississippi, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, California, and Oklahoma.
NAPHSIS is currently piloting the EVVE system with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). The EVVE system provides the capability for users at participating DMV offices to query participating vital records offices to verify the birth certificate presented by the applicant applying for their driver’s license or identification card. Currently, the states participating in the EVVE pilot from a DMV perspective are Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota.
NAPHSIS is also piloting the EVVE system with the South Dakota Medicaid Office. In addition to using the EVVE system, the South Dakota Medicaid Office is utilizing a product developed by Systems Made Simple, Inc. called the EVVE-ui. The EVVE-ui provides a secure internet-based front end for EVVE users to enter in birth record query data and display the EVVE response to the user, including the capability to print the query request and response details. NAPHSIS continues to encourage other State Medicaid Offices to participate in EVVE.
