How do I exchange retiree information with CMS' RDS Center?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic transmission of data between computer systems.

All participants in the RDS Program must use EDI to exchange retiree files with CMS' RDS Center throughout the Application Lifecycle.

Information is exchanged using a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file or Connect:Direct file where each line represents one beneficiary, Benefit Option, and Subsidy Period.
