# PRS.IBR.01: SP-MIS queries the IBR to verify if a beneficiary is enrolled in a specific scheme

This use case relates to the enrolment stage of the social protection delivery chain. Its purpose is to provide information that the SP-MIS needs to verify if potential beneficiaries are eligible for the social protection programmes. This use case applies in cases where eligibility for a social protection programme is dependent on the potential beneficiary's enrolment in another programme. The beneficiary may be an individual, a household or another type of entity. 

Depending on the eligibility criteria for the programme, their enrolment in another programme may make them ineligible for a particular programme. Or their enrolment in another programme may be part of the eligibility criteria for a programme. In both cases the SP-MIS needs to query the IBR to verify their current enrolment status in a specific programme. 

The request to share data is initiated by the SP-MIS (possibly alongside requests to other registries) to verify eligibility. This could be a request for an individual or group (household or family), depending on the unit that benefits from the programme and the programme’s eligibility criteria, or it could be a bulk request for a batch of potential beneficiaries.

For data minimisation purposes, the use case can only request to confirm if a beneficiary or household is currently enrolled in a specific programme. The IBR will return a 'yes' or 'no' response.  If the SP-MIS needs to verify enrolment in additional programme, then additional requests must be made for these programmes. 

Please refer to the sub-pages for descriptions that illustrate this generic use case using examples from common social protection programme.
