VeriMove uses the move type when attempting to determine if a name/address combination in your input file has a forwarding address in the NCOALink data. The move type is specified by the mail recipient on the USPS Change of Address (COA) form. There are three move types:
- Individual
- An Individual move type is used when household members have different last names or when only some of the recipients in a household move to another address.
- Business
- A Business move type is used when a company relocates.
- Family
- A Family move type is used when all household members have the same last name and all move to the same address. If anyone is staying at the old address, or if anyone has a different last name, then it is considered an Individual move. For a Family move type, only the last name must match for a forwarding address to be found.
