The system also integrates with multiple state partners such as LVA, DSS, DMV, and DCLS, as well as federal agencies including SSA, CDC, NCHS, and NAPHSIS.

The effort will focus on creating new Oracle APEX pages and application components, strengthening security controls, improving the user experience through modern UI capabilities, and ensuring the long‑term sustainability of the VVESTS platform.
