Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System

Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) is a computerized database for United States Service members, military retirees, 100% VA Disabled Veterans, dependents, DoD active Contractors, and others worldwide who are entitled to Public Key Infrastructure and TRICARE eligibility.

DEERS is used in the Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS). RAPIDS is United States Department of Defense system to issue the definitive credential within DoD for obtaining Common Access Card tokens in the DoD PKI. Used together, these two systems are referred to as a DEERS/RAPIDS stations, available in 700 locations in the world.

With the expansion of base exchange online shopping privileges to all honorably discharged veterans beginning in 2017,^[1] the DEERS database is also used to verify non-disabled veterans' eligibility for the Veteran online shopping benefit.^[2]

DEERS was created in the late 1970s as a Joint Medical/Personnel Database, and first put into operation in 1982. In 1997, DEERS fielded RAPIDS. In 2001, it implemented the National Enrollment Database, which provided medical portability. The Next Generation of TRICARE Contracts (TNEX), including additional DEERS capabilities, was created in 2004.

The Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) registration is a crucial process for members of the U.S. military and their eligible family members. DEERS is the primary system used by the Department of Defense (DoD) to verify and maintain the eligibility of individuals for military benefits, including healthcare and other entitlements.^[3]

DEERS maintains personnel and benefits information for:

• Active, retired, reserve and National Guard uniformed service personnel
• Eligible family members of active, retired, reserve and National Guard uniformed service personnel
• Military veterans 100% disabled service connected
• DoD civil service personnel
• DoD contractors requiring logistical access

DEERS is also responsible for producing DoD ID Cards (RAPIDS and Common Access Cards). DEERS supports benefit delivery including medical, dental, educational, and life insurance. In addition, DEERS enables DoD e-business, including identity management, and reduces fraud and abuse of government benefits and supports force health protection and medical readiness.

The Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) is located at military bases and some reserve centers.

Un identificador personal de intercambio electrónico de datos ( EDIPI ) es un número asignado a un registro en la base de datos del Sistema de Informes de Inscripción y Elegibilidad de Defensa (DEERS) del Departamento de Defensa de los Estados Unidos . Un registro en la base de datos DEERS corresponde a una persona y su categoría de personal (por ejemplo, contratista, reservista, civil, personal en servicio activo, etc.). La Tarjeta de Acceso Común (CAC), emitida por el Departamento de Defensa a través de DEERS, contiene un EDIPI. A una persona con más de una categoría de personal se le asigna una CAC para cada rol, pero el EDIPI permanece invariable para todas las CAC emitidas a esa persona. El EDIPI es único para cada individuo. La separación de las identidades permite revocar el permiso de un rol simplemente confiscando la tarjeta o revocando los certificados digitales, sin afectar a los demás roles.

El EDIPI es un número de diez dígitos ubicado en el código de barras del reverso de la tarjeta y en el chip de circuito integrado incrustado en la misma. Los primeros nueve dígitos son números únicos, mientras que el décimo dígito es un dígito de control para el identificador. Los primeros nueve dígitos se asignan secuencialmente, comenzando en 100000000, y se asignan de por vida, sin posibilidad de reasignación. ^{[ 4 ]}

El EDIPI puede utilizarse como identificador único de persona. Es único para cada persona, no para su rol (persona) ni para las tarjetas CAC emitidas a esa persona.
