In plain terms
The consumer files once, with the state, not with you. What reaches a broker is not a name and an email address. It is a work item: an identifier hash and an ID, inside a list of the type that identifier belongs to. The broker never learns who the person is unless the hash matches something already in its own records. That is the design. It lets the state distribute one request to hundreds of brokers without handing every one of them a fresh copy of the consumer's details.
What it means for a registered broker
Every work item you download needs an answer. If a hash matches a record you hold, you decide whether that record is deleted or exempted, act on the decision, and submit the matching status code. If it does not match anything, the status is not found. Nothing entitles you to leave a work item unanswered. Requests keep arriving between cycles, so a cycle you skip does not shrink. It lands on top of the next one, with the clock already running.
