RAD
The Representative Accountability Database (RAD) is a registration system that validates the identities of service provider representatives performing transactions in the National Lifeline Accountability Database (NLAD) and the National Verifier (NV).

Representatives that interact with these Lifeline systems and perform transactions such as eligibility checks and enrollments must have their Representative ID linked to their service provider account, state account, or API ID.
