Additional Information

We package the XML Schemas by form type and version number. Each package includes "DIFF" files that identify the difference between the schema version listed above and the previous schema version.

We also package the Business Rules by form type and version number. Each package includes two different formats that contain identical information – Adobe (.pdf) and comma separated file (.csv). A column within the file identifies changes made from the previous version.

Key schema changes are listed below:
