Instant Verification: Update to Low Income instant verification logic
The US Department of Health and Human Services recently released the new Federal Poverty Level Guidelines for 2025. To continue to instantly approve appropriately on our Low Income programs, we adjusted our approval logic to use these new figures.
Instant Verification: Source Attribution in downloadable reports
To comply with regulations around usage of particular Instant Data Sources, we have added a new "Source Attribution" column to downloadable reports retrieved from MySheerID or our Reporting API. At present, the only notes which will appear in that column are to notify you of our usage of the CNOUS source for French University Student for approval of a particular verification. All other rows will be blank.
Column order in our verification reports is not fixed and new columns may appear without notice due to factors including, but not limited to: New data points that SheerID exposes in reporting and Metadata that you include in verification requests. If you are consuming SheerID reports programmatically, code defensively. Your integration should be tolerant of header changes.
Some updates may not apply to every program. Contact the Product Support Team if you have questions about how these updates apply to your specific programs.
