Redirect Request: R&S FAQ for WAVE

[jennymayoco]

Status

[2024-07-02] [Jenny] We are archiving the R&S FAQ page on WAVE as this tool will be replaced by the new Verify your Enrollment tool. The team's latest update is that they intend to launch to prod today. Once we get confirmation, Randi H. will be publishing the static page with the widget and we'll be able to move forward with this redirect. We just wanted to kick off this process since the tool should be launching soon. I'll follow up once we're good to move forward with implementation.
