Specifications include, but are not limited to: Identity and Authorization Management (“IAM”) Performance Requirements Require benchmarking of current performance scores for an application, and then establish key performance score requirements before deploying that application to a provider’s site. Key performance scores include responsiveness for interactive user applications, and bulk data transfer performance for applications that must input or output large quantities of data on an ongoing basis. Alternate IDs Campuses assign IDs to their employees. OEB has created and used a Benefits ID (“BID”) to uniquely identify insured persons. This information may be useful to OEB for reporting purposes. OEB does not require that the Proposer’s platform perpetuate the use of the Benefits ID (BID) in its identity management system. Use of Social Security Numbers / Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers OEB is both directed and authorized to collect Social Security Numbers (“SSNs”). In cases where a plan participant does not have a SSN, an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (“ITIN”) should be used instead (obtained via IRS form W-7 and authorized by ACA Section 6055). Because OEB may not deny coverage to any participant for not providing an SSN to OEB, and because most insurance carriers require the SSN / ITIN to be transmitted to uniquely identify the participant, UT Institutions or OEB will assign a unique “dummy” nine-digit number in the absence of the actual SSN / ITIN. The most common use of “dummy” SSNs is the case of newborns being enrolled in the plan. The system must be able to show reasonable effort to obtain the ITIN for each individual not reporting their ITIN. Change of SSN / ITIN In the situations where the dummy ITIN eventually is replaced by a valid SSN, or because of initial data entry errors, or for whatever possible reason, all business associates of the plan need to be able to handle situations in which a member changes from one SSN / ITIN to another. Subscribers also Dependents It is often the case that one (1) person is both a subscriber and a dependent of one (1) to three (3) subscribers.
