VRUProgress
0 - Not a VRU call -- Indicates that this call is not a VRU call. It is the
default value.
1 - VRU Unhandled - Indicates that the caller's needs have not been
met at this point in the application. ( VruUnhandledCallsToHalf )
2 - VRU Handled - Indicates that the caller's needs have been met by
this point in the application. For example, the caller successfully
received an account balance. ( VruHandledCallsToHalf )
3 - VRU Assisted - Indicates that this call was transferred to an agent
after the caller's needs were met with the application. For example, the
caller successfully received account information and then requested to
speak to an agent for a different reason or for additional information not
available through automatic means. ( VruAssistedCallsToHalf )
4 - VRU Opt Out Unhandled - Indicates that the call was transferred to
an agent at the caller's request before the caller's needs were met by
the application. For example, the caller pressed "0" to be transferred to
an agent before performing automated transactions or while in the
process of completing a transaction. ( VruOptOutUnhandledCallsToHalf
)
5 - VRU Scripted Transfer - Indicates that the call was transferred to an
agent as part of the application design. For example, after the caller
checked an account balance the application transferred the caller to
agent to discuss new account options. Another example is that after a
caller entered digits to request a particular type of service the call was
transferred to an available agent to handle the request. (
VruScriptedXferredCallsToHalf )
6 - VRU Forced Transfer - Indicates that the caller was transferred to an
agent because of a system error. For example, a failure at a particular
node in the application could lead to the call being transferred to the
agent. ( VruForcedXferredCallsToHalf )
7 - VRU Other- Indicates that the call disposition does not match any of
the other VRUProgress variables. ( VruOtherCallsToHalf )
You can use the VRUProgress variable to indicate the final VRU status
at the end of the application or to indicate changes in VRU status
through the different transactions in the application.

enabled, "both" would require an update to include prompting (First, let's change your address") followed by Change of Address, followed by
name collection or transfer to agent for name collection.

I have a lot of information, which I'll give to you in
three parts. And just so you know, all of this
information can be found on the back of the
Application form. Now, Here's the first part. To
correct information on your card or in our records, for
example, a name change or corrected date of birth,
you'll need to prove your identity AND provide
documents that support the change and explain the
reason for the change.

Your proof of identity must show your legal name,
and we can accept any of the following: your U.S.
driver's license, your U.S. state-issued non-driver

have any of those, we may accept other documents,
like a U.S. military identity card, a Certificate of
Naturalization, or an employee identity card. For
young children, we may accept medical records
maintained by the child's medical provider, a final

Here's the second part. The documents you'll need
depends on what you need to change and why. For
example, if you're correcting your date of birth, you
can show a birth certificate. If you're changing your
name, you'll need to show either a Marriage
document; a Divorce decree; a Certificate of
Naturalization showing a new name; or a Court
order for a name change. Your name change
document has to show both your old AND new
names. If it doesn't have enough identifying
information, you'll need to provide an identity
document with your old name (like a drivers' license
or passport) AND another one with your new legal
name, in addition to the name change document.

Here's the last part. For proof of citizenship, we can
accept your U.S. birth certificate or U.S. passport. If
you were born outside the U.S., we can also accept
a Consular Report of Birth, a Certificate of
Citizenship, or a Certificate of Naturalization. If
you're NOT a U.S. citizen, we need to see a current
document issued to you by the Department of
Homeland Security showing your immigration status,
such as form 'I five five one,' 'I nine four,' 'I six eight
eight B,' or 'I seven six six.' If you are not authorized
to work in the U.S., then you'll need to provide a
document from a U.S. federal, state, or local
government agency, that explains WHY you need a
social security number and which proves that you
meet all the requirements for receiving benefits. If
you're not sure if your reason qualifies, please speak
with one of our agents. Note that we can only accept
original documents, but we'll return your documents
after we've seen them.
