DHS updated EIDBI Technical Change Request, DHS-6516 (PDF) to clarify the directions to request a technical change in EIDBI services to an existing approved service agreement.
Launch of EIDBI 101 online training
DHS recently launched the new EIDBI 101 online training. This training informs providers of the various requirements to provide EIDBI services. DHS requires all Level III providers to complete EIDBI 101 and recommends all other EIDBI providers do so as well.
