UIS is the centralized repository that stores eligibility & participation information of employees & his/her dependents for institutional customers. It maintains employer level control records, member level demographic & eligibility/participation information. The system can be broadly classified into 2 components • Online part • Batch part The Online part is also known as UNIF, consisting of thirteen different functions. Each function enables the users to perform a certain type of activity. Users from the Claims system, use the UNIF screens to verify eligibility and participant information of employees for a certain customer. The system is also used by Business Analysts of the UIS team, located in Bridgewater - New Jersey, to answer queries related to the application functionality. Online system is mostly used for inquiry and update.

These jobs perform a number of tasks such as extracting reports, modifying the INFORCE file, feeding eligibility and/or participant data to other MetLife applications, external vendors and agencies, printing of requested reports etc. Data is stored in VSAM/QSAM files on IBM Mainframe. The system has approximately 40 interfaces. It provides batch interfaces from other systems to receive data for claims processing.
