API Functional Integration Toolkit
Purpose of This Toolkit
This document is designed to help Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE) Auditors ensure that an EDE Entity has successfully integrated on a basic functional level with each of the EDE
application programming interfaces (APIs). This document is also designed to help EDE Auditors ensure that an EDE Entity has successfully implemented required UI functionality related
to the APIs. Each test case in this toolkit requires integration with multiple EDE APIs. The Auditor must either complete each test case on its own, or work with the EDE Entity to verify the
test cases work appropriately. In both scenarios, the Auditor must provide a statement of compliance for each test case.
For each test case, the EDE Entity must correctly call all applicable APIs and yield the applicable expected results after calling each API. The EDE Entity and Auditor must use the test data
provided in the Zip file, "EDE End-to-End Test Data." There are nine data sets; column G, "Data Inputs," in the Test Cases tab displays which data set to use for each test case.
The EDE Entity must also follow the adjudication instructions on the "Adjudication Instructions" tab when adjudication of a data matching issue (DMI) or special enrollment period (SEP)
verification issue (SVI) is required.
Required Documentation
The Auditor must provide written confirmation in this toolkit, as part of the Operational Readiness Review (ORR), stating that it confirmed the DE Entity is able to successfully pass the API
integration scenarios listed in this toolkit. The Auditor must also provide any required evidence to confirm that the test scenarios were completed successfully, as described in column H,
"Required Evidence," in the Test Cases tab. The Auditor should name the required evidence files sequentially and clearly identify them as belonging to a specific test case. For example,
the Auditor should use this naming structure: TestCaseF0##_Step#_Item #_Document#_ElementName.png, which would appear as “F001_5_1_1_person search API.png” in the file
submission. In the Test Cases tab, the information to populate “TestCaseF0##” can be found in column A, “Step#” can be found in column D, and “Item #” can be found in column H.
Auditors should use “Document#” to indicate the sequential order of the documents in the audit submission and “ElementName” to describe the content within the document.
Note on Version
It is important to note that this document is subject to change.

Auditor Compliance Conclusion
**

The Auditor must provide a conclusion as to whether
the scenario (and corresponding requirements
defined in the Test Cases tab) defined in each row is
compliant with the CMS requirements. A compliance
conclusion should be indicated as "Yes" or "No."

The Auditor will use the requirements in the Test Cases tab to confirm each
test case is compliant. For DMI and SVI adjudications, the Auditor must
confirm the EDE Entity requested the adjudication and received the
expected result for the test case(s). If the test case is compliant, the Auditor
must indicate "Yes" in this column. If the row is not compliant, the Auditor
must indicate the noncompliance with a "No" in this column.
There are several required fields in each cell within this column:
- The first required field in the set of rows specific to each test case is "Test
Case F0## compliance conclusion: _____." If the results of the test case are
compliant, and match the expected results for the test case, the Auditor
must indicate "Yes" in this column. If the results of the test case are not
compliant, the Auditor must indicate the noncompliance with a "No" in this
column.
-The subsequent required cells for each test case refer to the Auditor
Checklist Items in the "Expected Result and Auditor Checklist Items" column
of the Test Cases tab. These Auditor Checklist Items reference the step and
the row number from the test case where there is an Auditor checklist list
item indicated by "Auditor Checklist Item F0## Step ##: Auditor confirms
[...]." For example, the first item in the API Functional Integration Test Case
001 (Auditor Checklist Item F001 Step 2a (row 3) is, "Auditor confirms the
agent is required to enter the document type and document identifier used
for manual ID proofing in the in-person agent/broker flow." After the
Auditor verifies this checklist item, the Auditor must document its
compliance determination in the corresponding cell and field in the
"Auditor Compliance Conclusion" column in the Test Case Overview tab,
"Auditor Checklist Item F001 Step 2a (row 3) compliance conclusion:"
As the Auditor reviews each test case in its entirety, the Auditor must
indicate any compliance risks identified in this column. This includes any
compliance risks that the EDE Entity has since resolved. One example finding
is that the scenario could not be completed because the Eligibility
Determination Notice (EDN) could not successfully be downloaded. An
example mitigation strategy would be that the EDE Entity made a system or
user interface (UI) change to correct the issue. When the scenario was
retested, the EDN was successfully downloaded and the scenario
successfully completed.

Risks Identified**

The Auditor must detail any compliance risks
identified during the audit in this column for each
applicable row. Use this column if the Compliance
Conclusion was “No” or if the entity resolved a risk
prior to audit submission. There are two types of
risks: resolved and unresolved. Please document
them both here. Do not document a risk if the
requirement is compliant and there was no
mitigation required.

Risk Level**

Auditors must assign a risk level to each risk it
identifies.

Risk Mitigation Strategy**

The Auditor must explain how each risk was
mitigated. For example, if the entity was unable to
correctly call an API, the Auditor must identify that as
a risk and list how the EDE Entity corrected the
finding (i.e., mitigated the risk). This field is required
for high-risk findings. The Auditor can work with the
DE Entity to decide on whether or not to include this
for low-risk findings.

Estimated Resolution Date**

Auditors must provide a timeframe for risk resolution CMS recommends Auditors work with the EDE Entity to provide a realistic
(required for unresolved high-risk findings).
timeframe of when a risk will be closed or mitigated given other
dependencies and their expertise.
The Auditor can use this column to provide any

comments that describe the Auditor’s process for verifying the requirement
unless there is a specific issue or concern regarding the requirement that
warrants raising a concern.

Auditor Comments

The Auditor must assign a risk level of "high" or "low" to each risk. High-risk
issues may impact a consumer’s eligibility determination, enrollment
disposition or status, or legal attestation. High-risk issues may also greatly
hinder the consumer experience or impact data collection (e.g., skipping a
CMS will take the risk level assigned by the Auditor
into consideration when reviewing the audit, but may question that is required for a EDE Entity to ask, but optional for the
consumer to answer).
adjust it if necessary.
Low-risk issues are unlikely to affect a consumer’s eligibility determination,
enrollment disposition or status, legal attestation, experience (i.e., in a
negative or confusing way), or data collection. Note: These risk
determinations are applicable for the business audit only and not the
privacy and security audit.
As the Auditor identifies compliance risks, the Auditor and EDE Entity will
identify a mitigation strategy that will mitigate or eliminate the compliance
risk. The Auditor must document that mitigation strategy here. This includes
documenting the mitigation strategy for any identified risk that the EDE
Entity has resolved. For example, for a scenario that could not be completed
because during the “Submit App” step, an error was displayed within the
EDE Entity’s UI and within the Submit App API Response, an example
mitigation strategy would be that the EDE Entity made a system or UI
change to correct the issue. When the scenario was retested, the application
was successfully submitted and the scenario successfully completed.

DMI and SVI Adjudication Instructions

SVI/DMI Adjudication Request

The submission must include:
-Correct results and successful completion of each test case: If an EDE
Entity will pursue approval to use both the Consumer pathway and the
Agent and Broker pathway, the submission must include documentation
reflecting the expected results for each pathway. In other words, the EDE
Entity must complete the full test case in both the Agent/Broker and
Consumer pathways and submit the required documentation for each
pathway. The EDE Entity may not use evidence from one pathway to satisfy
the evidence for the other pathway (e.g., using screenshots or API calls from
the Consumer pathway application to satisfy the requirement for the
Agent/Broker pathway), if the EDE Entity must provide evidence for both
pathways.
-Successful completion of the DMI and SVI test cases consistent with the
Toolkit’s instructions.
-Complete and compliant submission of all required evidence outlined in
the “Required Evidence” column, Column H, on the Test Cases tab within the
API Functional Integration Toolkit, including the complete header and body
for each required API request and response.
-JSONs and XML files submitted as required evidence for a Test Case must
be raw and unmodified by the EDE Entity.
- JSON and XML files submitted as required evidence must demonstrate
successful OKTA integration. That is, the User ID provided in API request
headers, and within Fetch Eligibility/Submit Enrollment request bodies,
must be the agent/brokers’ FFE User ID. Fetch Eligibility XML files are
required when requested if the Entity has integrated with the Fetch
Eligibility API.

Entities must submit to adjudicate DMIs and SVIs.

General Testing Assumptions
1. Entities implementing a consumer flow will complete each scenario via their consumer flow. Entities that are implementing an Agent/Broker (A/B) flow will complete each scenario via their A/B flow, and those that are implementing both a consumer flow and an A/B flow will complete each scenario via both of their flows.
2. Step 1 in each test case (consumer account creation) may vary depending upon an EDE Entity's account creation process; some Entities may require consumers to create an account, while other Entities may not. Note that consumers are only required to complete ID proofing once as long as they are required to create an account on the Entity's site and the ID proofing occurrence is associated with the created account.
3. Web-brokers (WBEs) should add the text "DONOTSEND" in Address Line 2 when completing applications, in order to prevent 834s from being sent to issuers.
4. IMPORTANT: Mapped test data sheets are provided separately (see description below). Please note that each Entity must change the first name, last name, date of birth, street address, and email address of the applicants within the data provided when creating applications. The demographic data used must also be randomized for each test scenario (i.e. Entities should not use the same first name, last name, etc. for each test scenario). There are a number of issues that Entities
may encounter if they don't randomize the demographic data, including SVIs and DMIs not generating.
5. Entities are permitted to change the birth dates for the household members so that all household members are QHP-eligible. For example, making a child age 19-25 may prevent the child from being eligible for CHIP; some scenarios indicate when an Entity may want/need to make a child age 19-25.
6. Entities are permitted to change the attested income for the scenarios so that all household members are eligible for a QHP, except for scenario 7; income for scenario 7 is provided within steps, and is required to trigger the Income DMI.
7. If a test case calls for a non-financial assistance (non-FA) application, the income and tax-related attestations in the test data can be ignored.
8. The “Did you get help from a navigator or agent/broker?” question can be answered "Yes" for each scenario, and the Entity can include an A/Bs name and NPN. This is optional.
9. Test case MTST_EDE_E2E_ F003 requires the Entity to report a change in circumstances (CIC) on an application that wasn't originally created by the Entity. The Entity should email CMS.FFE.EDESupport@accenturefederal.com, with the subject line, "Request for App IDs: EDE API Test Scenario F003," to obtain existing applications. Upon request, three applications will be provided to the Entity. Additional applications can be requested by the Entity, if needed. Note, the existing
applications will be Alabama applications. If an EDE Entity needs non-Alabama applications, that should be noted in the email request.
10. Test case MTST_EDE_E2E_F011 requires the Entity to create a 2023 application using a 2022 application. The entity should email CMS.FFE.EDESupport@accenturefederal.com, with the subject line, "Request for App IDs: EDE API Test Scenario F011," to obtain 2022 applications. Upon request, three applications will be provided to the Entity. Additional applications can be requested by the Entity, if needed. Note, the 2022 applications will be Arizona applications. If an Entity
needs non-Arizona applications, that should be noted in the email request.
11. The order of the API calls may vary depending on an Entity's implementation. All API calls should be made however, unless otherwise indicated in the test case.
12. For any necessary SVI or DMI adjudications, Entities will follow the instructions on the Adjudication Instructions tab.
13. Many of the test scenarios are designed to be completed outside of OE. Accordingly, Entities should complete the scenarios in the test environment when the test environment is not set to OE.

User submits an initial FA application
for 2 members. Both members are US
citizens and the application has no SVI

Step 1

Step 2

Consumer pathway testing: Consumer account is created (optional, depending on EDE
Entity's implementation).
Agent/Broker pathway testing: Consumer account creation should not be required in
the agent/broker workflow.

Consumer is ID proofed.

Consumer is successfully ID proofed.

For the consumer flow, a call is made to the RIDP/FARS API or an
equivalent 3rd-party FICAM TFS approved service.

If using the RIDP/FARS API, a DSH Reference ID will be successfully generated.

For the in-person agent/broker flow, manual ID proofing is required, but
can be simulated for purposes of testing the A/B flow.

Auditor Checklist Item F001 Step 2a: Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms
the agent is required to enter the document type and document identifier used for
manual ID proofing in the in-person agent/broker flow.

For RIDP/FARS testing, refer to the RIDP/FARS data For agent/broker pathway testing only:
available on the zONE at the following location:
1) UI screenshot showing that the agent/broker is required to
https://zone.cms.gov/document/enhanced-direct- enter the document type and document identifier used for
enrollment-ede-documents-and-materials
manual ID proofing in the in-person agent/broker flow.

Auditor Checklist Item F001 Step 2b: Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms
that the EDE Entity's UI requirements for manually ID proofing are in alignment with
the "Acceptable Documentation for ID Proofing" document on zONE at
https://zone.cms.gov/document/enhanced-direct-enrollment-ede-documents-andNote: Since RIDP/FARS and 3rd-party ID proofing service test harness data materials.
will not be in sync with FFM test harness data, this step is optional for
consumer pathway testing. EDE Entities are permitted to bypass ID
proofing for the consumer pathway in the test environment. EDE Entities
that will use the RIDP/FARS services in production however, should note
that there is separate RIDP/FARS testing that must be completed through
the Hub in order to get approved to use these services; the separate
RIDP/FARS testing requirements can be found on zONE at
https://zone.cms.gov/document/enhanced-direct-enrollment-ededocuments-and-materials.
For the telephone agent/broker flow, manual ID proofing is not required.
For purposes of testing, EDE Entities must simulate manual ID proofing in
an in-person agent/broker flow if they have an agent/broker pathway.

MTST_EDE_E2E
_ F001

Step 3

Call Store ID Proofing Record API to store the ID proofing information.

The ID proofing record is successfully stored.

Note: This step is systematically required only for the consumer and inperson A/B flows.

1) Store ID Proofing API request and response, which must be
raw/unmodified and include the complete header and body
for each required API request and response.

Note: If consumer pathway ID proofing is bypassed for testing in Step 2,
the EDE Entity will still need to store ID proofing data in order to obtain
permission for the application; a mock online transaction identifier can be
provided in the Store ID Proofing call if the consumer pathway ID proofing
was bypassed for testing.
MTST_EDE_E2E
_ F001

Step 4

Record consumer's permission to act on their behalf within the EDE
Entity's UI.

EDE Entity records user/consumer permissions.

Note: The location of the permission attestation may vary in the EDE
Entity's UI for the consumer pathway. For the agent/broker pathway
however, this attestation must be presented to the A/B on the Person
Search UI page.

MTST_EDE_E2E
_ F001

Step 5

Call Person Search API to check if there is an existing application.

No results are returned from Person Search call.

Note: Manual searching/claiming will occur for the Agent/Broker flow and Auditor Checklist Item F001 Step 5a: Consumer pathway testing: Auditor confirms the
backend searching/claiming will occur for consumer flow.
EDE Entity's UI does not have a consumer facing Person Search option. This should be
a backend search in the consumer flow, that isn't exposed directly to the consumer.

Auditor Checklist Item F001 Step 5c: Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor also
confirms the agent/broker isn't able to proceed with the Person Search until the
necessary attestation is provided, and that the agent/broker receives an applicable
error when attempting to proceed with the Person Search without completing the
necessary attestation.
Auditor Checklist Item F001 Step 5d: Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms
the Person Search UI option meets the requirements outlined in the "EDE Person
Search" Section of the EDE API Companion Guide available on zONE at
https://zone.cms.gov/document/enhanced-direct-enrollment-ede-documents-andmaterials.
Step 6

For both consumer pathway and agent/broker pathway
testing:
1) UI screenshot showing that the user is required to attest
that permission has been granted to act on the consumer's
behalf. Note that for the agent/broker pathway, the
agent/broker is required to attest on the Person Search UI
page to having the consumer's permission to work on their
behalf, and related screenshots should reflect such.

Auditor Checklist Item F001 Step 5b: Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms
the agent is required to attest to having the consumer's permission to work on their
behalf on the Person Search page. For the agent/broker pathway, the permission
attestation must be located on the Person Search page.

data is displayed in the UI in accordance with guidance in Section 9.1.1 UI Display of Get
Enrollment Data of the EDE API Companion Guide available on zONE at
https://zone.cms.gov/document/enhanced-direct-enrollment-ede-documents-andmaterials.

Call Payment Redirect API to retrieve payment redirect URL and payment
redirect SAML.
Note: If the EDE Entity is an issuer, the entity is not required to integrate
with the Payment Redirect API if the entity directly hosts a payment
service; the issuer would still need to provide evidence that the consumer
can make a payment, as described in #1 in the "Required Evidence"
column. If the EDE Entity is an issuer and does not offer an option for a
consumer to make a binder payment online, the auditor can indicate this
in lieu of providing the "Required Evidence" in column H.

Either: 1) Payment redirect occurs for the consumer in the UI, or 2) the consumer isn't
given a payment redirect option if they selected a plan with an issuer that doesn't
support payment redirect (in which case the Payment Redirect API response won't
include a payment redirect URL).
Note: The payment redirect URL returned by the Payment Redirect API will be for the
issuer's production environment, and payment redirect to the issuer's payment site
may therefore fail from the test environment; this is an acceptable result, however
note that the Payment Redirect API should still return a successful response in this
scenario.

For both consumer pathway and agent/broker pathway
testing:
1) If the user selects a plan that is eligible for payment
redirect, UI screenshot showing the payment redirect option
in the EDE Entity's UI.
2) Payment Redirect API request and response, which must be
raw/unmodified and include the complete header and body
for each required API request and response. Note: This is not
required if the EDE Entity is an issuer that directly hosts a
payment service; the auditor should document this if
applicable. This is also not required if the EDE Entity is an
issuer that does not offer an online option for binder
payments; the auditor should document this if applicable.

Step 2

Step 3

Consumer is successfully ID proofed.

For the consumer flow, a call is made to the RIDP/FARS API or an
equivalent 3rd-party FICAM TFS approved service.

If using the RIDP/FARS API, a DSH Reference ID will be successfully generated.

For the telephone agent/broker flow, manual ID proofing is not required.
For purposes of testing, EDE entities must simulate manual ID proofing in
an in-person agent/broker flow if they have an agent/broker pathway.
Note: Since RIDP/FARS and 3rd-party ID proofing service test harness data
will not be in sync with FFM test harness data, this step is optional for
consumer pathway testing. EDE Entities are permitted to bypass ID
proofing for the consumer pathway in the test environment. EDE Entities
that will use the RIDP/FARS services in production however, should note
that there is separate RIDP/FARS testing that must be completed through
the Hub in order to get approved to use these services; the separate
RIDP/FARS testing requirements can be found on zONE at
https://zone.cms.gov/document/enhanced-direct-enrollment-ededocuments-and-materials.

Step 4

Agent/Broker pathway testing: Consumer account creation should not be required in
the agent/broker workflow.

Consumer is ID proofed.

For the in-person agent/broker flow, manual ID proofing is required, but
can be simulated for purposes of testing the A/B flow.

MTST_EDE_E2E
_ F003

Consumer pathway testing: Consumer account is created (optional, depending on EDE
Entity's implementation).

Call Store ID Proofing Record API to store the ID proofing information.
Note that the Date of Birth for the existing member will be provided
when applications are requested in Step 1.

Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms the agent is required to enter the
document type and document identifier used for manual ID proofing in the in-person
agent/broker flow.
Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms that the EDE Entity's UI requirements
for manually ID proofing are in alignment with the "Acceptable Documentation for ID
Proofing" document on zONE at https://zone.cms.gov/document/enhanced-directenrollment-ede-documents-and-materials.
Please note: in Auditor Checklist Items F001 Step 2a and Step 2b, the Auditor reviewed
this functionality. The Auditor must complete the review described in this cell (see the
two "Auditor confirms..." items). However, the Auditor does not need to re-document
that the functionality described in the "Auditor confirms..." clauses works as expected

Auditor Checklist Items F001 Step 2a and Step 2b, the Auditor must document this
discrepancy as a risk for this test case. The Auditor must document risks in the "Test
Case Overview" tab where the Auditor is documenting its compliance determinations.

The ID proofing record is successfully stored.

Note: This step is systematically required only for the consumer and inperson A/B flows.
Note also: If consumer pathway ID proofing is bypassed for testing in Step
3, the EDE Entity will still need to store ID proofing data in order to obtain
permission for the application; a mock online transaction identifier can be
provided in the Store ID Proofing call if the consumer pathway ID proofing
was bypassed for testing.
MTST_EDE_E2E
_ F003

Step 5

Record consumer's permission to act on their behalf within the EDE
Entity's UI.

EDE Entity records user/consumer permissions.

Step 6

Call Person Search API by using a combination of SSN and Date of Birth to
check if there is an existing application. Note that the SSN and DOB for
the existing member will be provided when applications are requested in
Step 1.
Note: Manual searching/claiming will occur for Agent/Broker flow and
backend searching/claiming will occur for consumer flow.

Existing application details are displayed and/or existing application is claimed.
Consumer pathway testing: Auditor confirms the EDE Entity's UI does not have a
consumer facing Person Search option. This should be a backend search in the
consumer flow, that isn't exposed directly to the consumer.
Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms the agent is required to attest to
having the consumer's permission to work on their behalf on the Person Search page.
For the agent/broker pathway, the permission attestation must be located on the
Person Search page.
Auditor also confirms the agent/broker isn't able to proceed with the Person Search
until the necessary attestation is provided, and that the agent/broker receives an
applicable error when attempting to proceed with the Person Search without
completing the necessary attestation.
Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms the Person Search UI option meets the
requirements outlined in the "EDE Person Search" Section of the EDE API Companion
Guide available on zONE at https://zone.cms.gov/document/enhanced-directenrollment-ede-documents-and-materials.

Step 2

Consumer is ID proofed.

Consumer is successfully ID proofed.

For the consumer flow, a call is made to the RIDP/FARS API or an
equivalent 3rd-party FICAM TFS approved service.

If using the RIDP/FARS API, a DSH Reference ID will be successfully generated.

Step 3

Agent/Broker pathway testing: Consumer account creation should not be required in
the agent/broker workflow.

IMPORTANT: As per the assumptions in the Test Case Overview tab,
please note that each entity must change the first name, last name, date
of birth, street address and email address of the applicants within the
data provided when creating applications. The demographic data used
must also be randomized for each test scenario (i.e. you shouldn't use the
same first name, last name, etc. for each test scenario). There are a
number of issues that entities may encounter if they don't randomize the
demographic data, including SVIs and DMIs not generating.

For the in-person agent/broker flow, manual ID proofing is required, but
can be simulated for purposes of testing the A/B flow.

Step 2

Consumer is ID proofed.

Consumer is successfully ID proofed.

For the consumer flow, a call is made to the RIDP/FARS API or an
equivalent 3rd-party FICAM TFS approved service.

If using the RIDP/FARS API, a DSH Reference ID will be successfully generated.

For the in-person agent/broker flow, manual ID proofing is required, but
can be simulated for purposes of testing the A/B flow.
For the telephone agent/broker flow, manual ID proofing is not required.
For purposes of testing, EDE Entities must simulate manual ID proofing in
an in-person agent/broker flow if they have an agent/broker pathway.
Note: Since RIDP/FARS and 3rd-party ID proofing service test harness data
will not be in sync with FFM test harness data, this step is optional for
consumer pathway testing. EDE Entities are permitted to bypass ID
proofing for the consumer pathway in the test environment. EDE Entities
that will use the RIDP/FARS services in production however, should note
that there is separate RIDP/FARS testing that must be completed through
the Hub in order to get approved to use these services; the separate
RIDP/FARS testing requirements can be found on zONE at

Call Store ID Proofing Record API to store the ID proofing information.

Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms the agent is required to enter the
document type and document identifier used for manual ID proofing in the in-person
agent/broker flow.
Agent/Broker pathway testing: Auditor confirms that the EDE Entity's UI requirements
for manually ID proofing are in alignment with the "Acceptable Documentation for ID
Proofing" document on zONE at https://zone.cms.gov/document/enhanced-directenrollment-ede-documents-and-materials.
Please note: In Auditor Checklist Items F001 Step 2a and Step 2b, the Auditor already

complete the assessment described in this cell (i.e., the two "Auditor confirms..."
items). However, the Auditor does not need to re-document that the functionality
described in the "Auditor confirms..." clauses works as expected if the functionality
operates consistent with the Auditor's compliance determination for Auditor Checklist

_ F010
SSN DMI and Citizenship
DMI. There is no SVI on the
application. The Citizenship
DMI is expired.

User creates an initial 2-member nonFA application eligible for QHP.
The primary member has an SSN DMI
and a Citizenship DMI. There is no SVI
on the application. When the
Citizenship DMI is expired the primary
member becomes ineligible for a QHP
and the second member is re-enrolled
into the existing plan.

Step 1

A consumer account is created on the EDE Entity website.
Note: This step is optional and may vary depending upon a EDE Entity's
implementation. Some entities may require consumers to create an
account, while other entities may not. Note that consumers are only
required to complete ID proofing once as long as they are required to
create an account on the entity's site and the ID proofing occurrence is
associated with the created account.
IMPORTANT: As per the assumptions on the Test Case Overview tab,
please note that each entity must change the first name, last name, date
of birth, street address and email address of the applicants within the
data provided when creating applications. The demographic data used
must also be randomized for each test scenario (i.e. you shouldn't use the
same first name, last name, etc. for each test scenario). There are a
number of issues that entities may encounter if they don't randomize the
demographic data, including SVIs and DMIs not generating.
