Introduction

The MAS API notifications for disability claims is a feature that was previously integrated into the RRD project, with the last "handoff to MAS" integration being a part of this project. The API notifications originate from the vets-api, which is believed to be underutilized. In this write-up, we will delve into the purpose of the MAS API notifications, confirm with MAS whether they are still using it, and determine whether it can be safely deleted.

Issue Description

The MAS API notifications for disability claims were a part of the RRD project, which aimed to integrate various features and services. The API notifications were designed to facilitate communication between the system and the MAS, enabling the exchange of data related to disability claims. However, it is unclear whether the MAS API notifications are still in use or if they have been deprecated.

Tasks

To gain a better understanding of the MAS API notifications, the following tasks need to be completed:

Look up old tickets in GitHub: Reviewing old tickets in GitHub will provide insight into the development and implementation of the MAS API notifications.
Look up old messages in Slack: Checking old messages in Slack will help identify any discussions or concerns related to the MAS API notifications.
Meet with Eng to step through the code (if needed): If necessary, meeting with the engineering team to review the code and understand its functionality will be beneficial.
Piece together what this was for: By gathering information from the previous tasks, we can determine the purpose and functionality of the MAS API notifications.
Write up summary in a comment below: Once we have a clear understanding of the MAS API notifications, we will write a summary of our findings in the comments below.

Acceptance Criteria

To confirm that we have a thorough understanding of the MAS API notifications, the following acceptance criteria must be met:

We know what these "API notifications" were for: We must have a clear understanding of the purpose and functionality of the MAS API notifications.
We know who is/isn't using them now: We need to confirm whether the MAS API notifications are still in use or if they have been deprecated.
We know we can safely delete this code/feature: Based on our findings, we must be confident that the MAS API notifications can be safely deleted.
We write up a ticket to do the actual deleting: Once we have confirmed that the MAS API notifications can be safely deleted, we will create a ticket to perform the actual deletion.

How to Configure this Issue

To ensure that this issue is properly configured, the following steps should be taken:

Attached to an Epic: This issue should be attached to an epic, which is a body of work that this issue is a part of.
Labeled with Practice Area: This issue should be labeled with a practice area, such as engineer, data science, design, research, or product.
Labeled with Type: This issue should be labeled with a type, such as bug, request, discovery, documentation, etc.

MAS API Notifications: Purpose and Functionality

The MAS API notifications for disability claims were designed to facilitate communication between the system and the MAS, enabling the exchange of data related to disability claims. However, it is unclear whether the MAS API notifications are still in use or if they have been deprecated.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the MAS API notifications for disability claims were a part of the RRD project, which aimed to integrate various features and services. The API notifications were designed to facilitate communication between the system and the MAS, enabling the exchange of data related to disability claims. However, it is unclear whether the MAS API notifications are still in use or if they have been deprecated. To determine whether the MAS API notifications can be safely deleted, we need to confirm with MAS whether they are still using it and piece together what this was for.

Recommendations

Based on our findings, we recommend the following:

Confirm with MAS whether they are still using the MAS API notifications: We need to confirm with MAS whether they are still using the MAS API notifications or if they have been deprecated.
Piece together what this was for: By gathering information from the previous tasks, we can determine the purpose and functionality of the MAS API notifications.
Write up a summary in a comment below: Once we have a clear understanding of the MAS API notifications, we will write a summary of our findings in the comments below.
Create a ticket to delete the MAS API notifications: Once we have confirmed that the MAS API notifications can be safely deleted, we will create a ticket to perform the actual deletion.

Future Work

In the future, we recommend the following:

Review and update the documentation: We should review and update the documentation to reflect the current status of the MAS API notifications.
Remove any unused code: We should remove any unused code related to the MAS API notifications.
Monitor the system for any issues: We should monitor the system for any issues related to the deletion of the MAS API notifications.

Conclusion

Introduction

In our previous article, we delved into the MAS API notifications for disability claims, a feature that was previously integrated into the RRD project.
