Vital Statistics Pilot Overview Next Generation of SASRO • Electronic Verification of Vital Events (EVVE) Pilots • SSA awarded a contract to NAPHSIS to develop EVVE • NAPHSIS subcontracted software development • NAPHSIS and SSA have started work with Colorado & Missouri on pilots
EVVE Design • Birth and Death Confirmations • SSA field offices employees will enter vital information on screens • Information will pass through a HUB - then to participating state • State will review data and reply through HUB to SSA. Testing indicates a 5 second turnaround.
