DCPS (Disability Case Processing System)

Sr. QA Analyst

Lockheed Martin Information Technologies provides consulting support to its

client Social Security Administration (SSA). Disability Case Processing

System (DCPS) is the large initiative from SSA to consolidate five

disparate legacy systems utilized by 54 Disability Determination Services

routes the claim to a DDS, which could be a state or federal component.

I was involved mainly on CE Request module.

This Detailed System Specifications (DSS) document provides the software

specifications for the Consultative Examination (CE) business function of

the Disability Case Processing System (DCPS). The Authorized User initiates

a request for a CE when there is insufficient evidence to make a medical

determination. A CE may require supervisory and/or medical review based on

the type of exam or procedure requested, or the experience of the

Authorized User. The Authorized User scheduling the CE makes the CE

appointment with a CE provider. DCPS provides functionality to make special

arrangements for the involved parties to attend the appointment. DCPS

provides functionality to make modifications, follow-up and cancel a CE and

CE appointment.

Global Trade Repository (GTR)

Sr. QA Analyst

DTCC's cross asset Global Trade Repository (GTR) will provide the industry

with a central point of communication and storage of Credit, Equities,

Rates, Commodities and FX asset classes. The Trade Repository will accept

all trades globally from all swap trading entities or the agents.

The Global Trade Repository will act as the Central Repository and receive

Trade information, from Trade inception up to the maturity of the Trade.

The Trade Repository will receive and store Primary Economic Terms data,

Confirmation, Lifecycle Events data, Trade Snapshots, Valuation,

Verification and Document data, The Trade Repository will also receive and

store Real time pricing information for price dissemination.

The Trade execution facilities, Clearing Organizations, Confirmation

Service Providers, Asset Service Providers, Middleware Providers and Trade

Counterparties (Dealers/Client) will be able to report the trade details to

the trade repository (TR) through the interfaces provided. The Trade

Repository will provide the Participants and Regulators with some reports

that will enable them to view the positions and the status of submissions.

Project #1: EMIR Middle Market

With the substantial increase in new clients that is expected to onboard

for DDRL repository services, there is a requirement for an automated self-

service style onboarding. This automated self-service will allow the non

DTCC clients to onboard quickly and efficiently. The new proposed self-

service onboarding workflow will utilize Docusign, for a front end

interface, and a new internal interface to interact support areas in an

automated fashion. There will be a need for all internal support areas to

streamline their manual processes and automate where possible.

It is expected that once the client has provided all the required

information in the Self-Service registration portal (Docusign website) and

a payment has been received or deferred, the automated process will be

completed with the welcome mail being sent to the client within 24 hr

business day time period.

Project #2: European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR)

The DTCC Global Trade Repository (GTR) will be enhanced to enable market

participants to comply with trade reporting requirements as defined by the

ESMA technical standards.

This project will build upon the existing core GTR functionality and design

principles. The existing inbound message structures will be extended to

allow a single submission on a given trade to discharge reporting

obligations under any combination of the multiple regulatory regimes in

force as of the EMIR,

Project #3: ASIC & MAS Reporting

DTCC has been discussing with the Australian Securities Investment

Commissions (ASIC) and Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), a proposal to

accommodate an interim reporting model that would satisfy the

jurisdiction's reporting requirements on derivatives trading.

Project #4: JFSA Reporting

The main aim of this project is to introduce a JFSA Validation layer after

the message submission. Positions that pass the validations in the

reporting layer will be included in DDRJ position therefore report to JFSA.

Positions which produce error when being subjected to the validations in

the reporting layer will remain in GTR but not sent to DDRJ. Two new

reports are added for the participants to provide details of all the

transactions that produce errors and warnings.
