# Presentation: 074869

## 2006 – 2007 Cycle

**CASSTM Requirements**
**For Cycle K**

## RECOMBINATION 

- CASS has determined that a greater number of highrise exact assignments are possible when software recombines specific primary address values with secondary addresses values under defined conditions.
- Through this recombination activity, CASS-certified software might increase highrise depth-of-code matches.

***Continue...***

## RECOMBINATION 

- CASS will require software to transpose primary address number values that, when combined with secondary address information, obtains a highrise exact match by matching to a valid secondary address range in the ZIP + 4 File.
- CASS will also test for secondary address values transposed with secondary address values that through recombination a highrise exact match is achieved.

***Continue...***

**Input:****	****7600 GLOUCESTER ST**
**	****POMPANO BEACH FL  33065 **

**Notes:**
REQUIREMENT
 Inexact match in 5-digit associated with input city name
 The basis for determining potential matches when input ZIP &   
   City/State correspond will be:
	Exact match within input ZIP Code 
	Exact match within ZIP Code (s) associated with input 	City/St
	Inexact match within input ZIP Code
	Inexact match within ZIP Code (s) associated with input 	City/St
	Exact match within finance number 
 Override condition at 5-digit level
 In cases where the ZIP+4 PLL is different from the default city name, CASS is declaring this the override city name. When an override condition is present and an acceptable city name is on the input address record, the override takes precedence over the input city name.

**                              ****MEMPHIS TN  38103-0501 **

**Notes:**
Exact match within finance number.
To reduce the possibility for miscoding, address matching software must search the input ZIP Code or the ZIP Codes associated with the input city name more exhaustively prior to expanding search to entire finance number.
If expansion of search to entire finance occurs, potential matches are limited to exact matches of street address data only.

## UNIQUE ZIP CODE LOGIC CLARIFICATION

**In previous CASS cycles there has been confusion regarding the assignment of  the record type and setting of the default flag .**
**CASS will define the matching logic for Unique ZIP Codes  in the following areas:**
**Record Type**
**Default Flag **

## UNIQUE ZIP CODE LOGIC CHANGES

**An “Exact match” is defined as a match that does not require changes or additions to any of the components of the input address.**

## UNIQUE ZIP CODE LOGIC CHANGES

**Input record contained only the Unique ZIP Code and an exact match could not be made, software must assign a Unique ZIP Code default ZIP+4 Code of “0001”**
**       ****Input****:****   ****Preppy Education Inc**
**	****	****        ****100 E Lake St**
**	****	****         ****Chicago IL 60674****	****	**

## UNIQUE ZIP CODE LOGIC CHANGES

**Record Type:**** S****	****	****CRID:**** C000**
**Default Flag: **** Y****	****	****DPC:**** 00**

**Notes:**
Record type will be based on the input record; the default flag is set to “Y”. Default CRID to C000; Assign DPC based on the input primary street number.

## UNIQUE ZIP CODE LOGIC CHANGES

**Input record contained a valid Unique ZIP+4 Code; firm or address line does not correspond to ZIP+4 record.  Retain ZIP+4.**

**Notes:**

ZIP+4 Code 18767-6222 is valid for PO BOX range 6222-6239.

## UNIQUE ZIP CODE LOGIC CHANGES

**Input record contained an invalid Unique ZIP+4 add-on Code. If a match is not found; change  invalid +4 add-on to “0001”.**

***Note:*****  If a match exists on the ZIP+4 file for the            ****	****     default match, the Record Type and CRID ****	****     should be taken from the ZIP+4 record and the****	****     Default Flag  would be blank (see Slide 14)**

**Notes:**
Record type will be based on input address; default flag is set to “Y” unless the add-on -0001 is valid on ZIP+4; then the record type is based on the matched ZIP+4 record.

***Current Cycle Rule***

**Notes:**
Allowable match to any directional if it’s the only match and DPV confirms. Otherwise, follow existing Cardinal Rule. 

## CHANGES TO LACSLinkTM

***Continue...***

- LACSLink will be adding a new return code that will indicate when an input address has matched to an old address in LACSLink, and that old address is a “highrise default” address.
- Rather  than providing an imprecise new address, the new return code “09” will notify the user that the address has been converted, but a new address is not provided.

**CHANGES TO LACS****Link**TM

**Notes:**
Preference is given to the street address

Note: This new code will affect the EOM reports for NCOALink. Contact the NCOALink department for additional information (800) 589-5766 or 800-232-3443.
