Attachment D-List of Interfaces-UPDATED.xlsx

This file is an interface specifications document for the South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS) Economic Services System Application Modernization (CHIP) project, detailing the data exchange requirements and integration points between DSS and numerous state, federal, and vendor partners. The document outlines over 40 distinct interfaces involving SNAP, TANF, and related benefit program data, including exchanges with the SC Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office, SC Department of Education, SC Department of Health and Human Services, Social Security Administration, USDA systems, and various third-party vendors such as Conduent (EBT), SunSolutions (print/mail), and Pondera (fraud analytics). Data exchanges occur through multiple secure methods including Secured FTP, web services, mainframe datasets via Cyberfusion (TIBCO-MFT), and SharePoint, with frequencies ranging from real-time to yearly, and involve both incoming and outgoing data flows for case management, eligibility verification, benefits issuance, and reporting functions.

The interfaces encompass critical data elements including case and client demographics, benefits issuance records, eligibility determinations, participation tracking, wage and employment information, tax offset data, child support case information, and fraud detection analytics. Several interfaces are marked as "New" with methodology and frequency designations to be determined (TBD), including connections to the Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PARIS), National Accuracy Clearinghouse, Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE), SSA State On-Line Query Internet (SOLQ-I), and The Work Number employment verification service. The document reflects the comprehensive integration requirements necessary to support modernized economic services delivery across multiple state agencies and federal programs while maintaining data security and operational efficiency through established data exchange protocols.
