SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. General 

The Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 100–503), amended the Privacy 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the 

conditions under which computer 

matching involving the Federal 

government could be performed and 

adding certain protections for persons 

applying for, and receiving, Federal 

benefits. Section 7201 of the Omnibus 

Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. 

L. 101–508) further amended the 

Privacy Act regarding protections for 

such persons. 

The Privacy Act, as amended, 

regulates the use of computer matching 

by Federal agencies when records in a 

system of records are matched with 

other Federal, State, or local government 

records. It requires Federal agencies

comply with the requirements of the

Office of the General Counsel 

Notice of Computer Matching Program, 

SSA With the Bureau of the Public Debt 

(BPD) 

A. Participating Agencies 

SSA and BPD. 

B. Purpose of the Matching Program 

The purpose of this matching program 

is to set forth the conditions, terms, and 

safeguards under which BPD will 

disclose ownership of Savings 

Securities to us. This disclosure will 

provide us with information necessary 

to verify an individual’s selfcertification of his/her financial status 

to determine eligibility for low income 

subsidy assistance in the Medicare Part 

D prescription drug benefit program 

established under the Medicare 

Prescription Drug, Improvement, and 

Modernization Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108– 

173). 

C. Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program 

Section 1860D–14 of the Social 

Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w–114) 

requires the Commissioner of SSA to 

verify the eligibility of an individual 

who seeks to be considered as a lowincome subsidy eligible individual 

under the Medicare Part D prescription 

drug benefit program and who selfcertifies his/her income, resources, and 

family size. 

D. Categories of Records and Persons 

Covered by the Matching Program 

1. Systems of Records 

We will provide BPD with a finder 

file containing social security numbers 

(SSNs) extracted from the Medicare 

database. BPD will match the SSNs in 

the finder file with the SSNs in its 

Savings Securities registration systems. 

These records are included under the 

systems of records Treasury/BPD.002, 

United States Savings-Type Securities, 

and Treasury/BPD.008, Retail Treasury 

Securities Access Application, last 

published on June 10, 2005 at 70 FR 

33942 and 33952, respectively. 

We will then match the BPD data with 

a comparison file compiled of records 

from our expanded Medicare Database 

(MDB) File system of records in order to 

support our administration of the 

prescription drug subsidy program. The 

MDB File system of records notice 

(No.60–0321) was published at 69 FR 

77816 on December 28, 2004 and 71 FR 

42159–42164 on July 25, 2006. The 

MDB File is a repository of Medicare 

applicant and beneficiary information, 

which collects and maintains 

information related to Medicare Parts A 

and B, Medicare Advantage Part C, and 

Medicare Part D. 

2. Number of Records 

The number of records matched each 

year is determined in part by the 

number of people who file for subsidy 

for Part D. BPD will perform the 

automated matching with its computer 

systems and provide the response file to 

us as soon as possible. This agreement 

covers the following matches: 

a. Screening for Potential Recipients 

This screening will involve an 

ongoing weekly match with file sizes 

varying from 13,000 to 140,000 records 

containing potential applicants and 

those recipients who notify us of a 

change. 

b. Screening To Confirm Eligibility 

To confirm eligibility of individuals 

receiving Medicare Part D subsidies, an 

ongoing yearly match of approximately 

two million recipients each year will be 

performed. 

3. Specified Data Elements for Definitive 

Records 

a. We will furnish BPD with the SSN 

for each individual for whom Savings 

Securities registration information is 

being requested. 

b. When a match occurs on an SSN, 

BPD will disclose the following: The 

denomination of the security, the serial 

number, the series, the issue date of the 

security, the current redemption value, 

and the return date of the finder file. 

4. Specified Data Elements for Book 

Entry Records 

a. We will furnish BPD with the SSN 

for each individual for whom Savings 

Securities registration information is 

being requested. 

b. When a match occurs on an SSN, 

BPD will disclose the following: the 

purchase amount, the account number 

and confirmation number, the series, the 

issue date of the security, the current 

redemption value, and the return date of 

the finder file. 

E. Inclusive Dates of the Matching 

Program 

The effective date of this matching 

program is April 1, 2011; provided that 

the following notice periods have 

lapsed: 30 days after publication of this 

notice in the FR and 40 days after notice 

of the matching program is sent to 

Congress and OMB. The matching 

program will continue for 18 months 

from the effective date and may be 

extended for an additional 12 months 

thereafter, if certain conditions are met.
