To qualify for postage rate discounts, mailers must check the accuracy of their address records every six months using a CASS-certified software program. The VeriMove internal CASS processor (available on Windows, Unix, and Linux only) has been CASS-certified by the USPS to:
- Check addresses for accuracy
- Standardize address elements according to USPS regulations
- Assign and/or correct address elements needed for NCOALink processing, including CASS ZIP Apartment, CASS ZIP Code, CASS ZIP Rural Route, and CASS ZIP + 4
The VeriMove internal CASS processor prepares an address for presentation to the NCOALink system to ensure all possible Move Updates are performed. This is called "Internal" CASS processing (available for Windows, Unix, and Linux only).
The internal CASS processor does not offer the scope of output options or interactive mode available with a dedicated CASS-certified software package (for example, CODE-1 Plus® or Finalist®). You may prefer to use an external software package to CASS-certify your address records and use VeriMove only for Move Update processing. This is called "External" CASS processing. z/OS and IBM i users must use external CASS processing.
