User Guide
CASS Geocoding
The Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS™) is the USPS
®
certification process for ZIP + 4
®
matching software by which a table of mailing addresses is standardized to meet USPS
requirements for bulk mailing discounts. MapMarker standardizes addresses under strict matching
conditions set by the USPS
® while it geocodes your records.
L
You cannot geocode your records with a user dictionary during CASS geocoding.
To geocode your data to CASS standards and obtain the bulk mailing discount, a number of output
columns are required, and you must produce a CASS report. You must also have the current
revision of the MapMarker Address Dictionary available to comply with CASS address
standardization.
MapMarker ships regular data updates to comply with CASS™ requirements and DPV
®
. The CASS
expiration dates for your version of MapMarker USA are covered in your product Release Notes.
DPV is closely tied to the currentness of the CASS data. The CASS ZIP + 4
® data is synchronized
with DPV updates to ensure that both are valid for the full 105-day period of the quarter.
L
Beginning with Cycle N (MapMarker USA 24), Suite Link ™ is required by the USPS for CASS
reporting.
