Abstract: The eBenefits portal, a joint

portal allows authenticated users to
create profiles for themselves so they
can see a customized view of their
homepage, receive personalized alerts,
view a calendar of appointments, view
content related to their benefits, and opt
into other individualized features.
Profiles will initially be populated with
data from the existing Defense
Enrollment Eligibility Reporting
database, but will also offer users the
option to indicate preferences and
individual details that will enable the
portal to deliver personalized
information.
