PRS.CRVS.05: Enrolment in child allowance scheme

Context: Use Case (Social Protection)

Child benefit programmes are government programmes that provide financial support to families with children. The purpose of this programme is to help families with the costs of raising children, such as providing food, clothing, education and other things. The eligibility requirements for such programmes vary from country to country. Some countries have a universal child benefit programme for which all families with children are eligible, while others have means-tested programmes for which eligibility and the amount received are based on the child's sex, family's income and other factors.

Examples: Cash grant programmes, child education programmes, malnutrition-related programs, midday meal programmes, infant and young child feeding programmes, and others.

Detailed Process Workflow

Figure

Sections	Description
Actors and Entities	Child as applicant, parents/guardian, SP-MIS, CRVS system
Prerequisites	Refer toAssumptions. UIN or birth certificate of child
Process Inputs	UIN or birth certificate of child
Process Flow Steps	Step 1. Applicant initiates enrolment: The applicant begins the enrolment process for the SP-MIS scheme by providing their UIN, birth certificate or birth registration number, as issued by the CRVS. Step 2. Verification of CRVS records: The SP-MIS checks if the applicant's record exists in the CRVS database by sending the UIN or birth registration number using the search API. If the applicant's record is found in the CRVS and the CRVS returns child data elements (name, sex, date of birth, date of death), and an array of parent information (parent UIN, name, sex, phone number, email), proceed to step 4. If the record is not found or contains incomplete/incorrect information, proceed to step 3. Step 3. Cross-referencing with other systems: If the record is not found in the CRVS or information is partial, the SP-MIS cross-references the applicant's details with other ID systems, like the foundational ID system, or other reliable sources. If the required information is found and verified through other systems, proceed to step 4. If no relevant information is available, further action or manual verification may be necessary. Step 4. Data validation and authentication: The SP-MIS validates and authenticates the applicant's details using the verified CRVS or cross-referenced information. If the information is accurate and matches the required criteria, proceed to step 5. If there are discrepancies or issues, additional manual steps for resolution may be required. Step 5. Enrolment confirmation: The SP-MIS confirms the successful enrolment of the applicant in the scheme. The applicant is notified of their enrolment status. Refer to Exception Handling for alternate flows.
Outputs	Applicant is enrolled in the scheme in the minimum possible time.
Control Points	Refer toAssumptions#9 for control points.

In some cases, submitting the birth certificate may be sufficient to establish the identity of the child, eliminating the need to check with the CRVS for further details. If there are doubts regarding the authenticity of the certificate, the social protection authority can send a query to the CRVS system for verification using the child's UIN or BRN.

It is important to note that in situations where the child has died, it is necessary to check the death record to see if the event has been registered.
