SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

PayVA (QCR) Debt Management 

Center System of Records Notice 

194VA189. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

PayVA is a custom-developed 

application (which is a website; https:// 

www.pay.va.gov) that is used by the 

Debt Management Center (DMC) to 

verify debts are active at DMC before the 

Veteran makes a payment. PayVA 

collects basic debt information from 

users, redirects them to pay.gov 

(Department of Treasury) for online 

payments and collects responses from 

pay.gov. PayVA prevents DMC from 

over-collecting and/or creating more 

refunds than necessary. The production 

site has a valid secure certificate. PayVA 

is housed in the WebOps server farm at 

the Capital Region Readiness Center 

(CRRC) in Martinsburg, WV. The system 

is currently owned by Enterprise 

Product Management Office (EPMO), 

Corporate Product Support (CPS) and is 

developing the Assessment and 

Authorization. DMC will take 

ownership of Assessment and 

Authorization activities once developed 

and in sustainment. The estimated 

number of Veterans whose financial 

information is stored in the system is 

100,000 or more. PayVA receives 

information (a table containing PII) from 

the Centralized Accounts Receivable 

System/Central Accounts Receivable 

On-Line System (CARS/CAROLS) an 

internal VA system, via a SQL job 3 

times a week. PayVA also receives 

information each time a payment is

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

Title 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 

Chapters 106a, 510, 1606 and 1607 and 

Title 38, U.S.C., section 501(a) and 

Chapters 11, 13, 15, 18, 23, 30, 31, 32, 

33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 51, 53, and 55. The 

following notice is provided on the 

PayVA website: The information you 

furnish on this form, including your 

Social Security Number, is used to 

associate your payment with your 

accounts receivable record so that we 

may properly credit your account. 

Disclosure is voluntary. However, 

without disclosure, a credit card 

transaction or direct debit transaction 

cannot be processed. The responses you 

submit are confidential and protected 

from unauthorized disclosure by 38 

U.S.C. 5701. The information may be 

disclosed outside the Department of 

Veterans Affairs (VA) only when 

authorized by the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended. The routine uses for which 

VA may disclose the information can be 

found in VA systems of records, 

including 58VA21/22, Compensation, 

Pension, Education and Rehabilitation 

Records-VA, and 88VA244. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The information collected from the 

PayVA user is needed to verify the 

information entered is applied to the 

correct debt. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Persons indebted to the United States 

Government as a result of their 

participation in benefit programs 

(including health care programs) 

administered by VA under title 38, 

United States Code, chapters 11, 13, 15, 

17, 18, 21, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 

37, including persons indebted to the 

United States Government by virtue of 

their ownership, contractual obligation 

or rental of property owned by the 

Government or encumbered by a VAguaranteed, insured, direct or vendee 

loan. The individuals covered are 

persons indebted to the United States 

Government as a result of their 

participation in a benefit program 

administered by VA, but who did not 

meet the requirements for receipt of 

such benefits or services. Persons 

indebted to the United States, a State or 

local government whose debts are 

referred to the Department of Veterans 

Affairs for Government-wide crossservicing under 31 U.S.C. 3711(g)(4) or 

any valid interagency agreement. 

Persons indebted to the United States as 

the result of erroneous payment of pay 

or allowances or as the result of 

erroneous payment of travel, 

transportation or relocation expenses 

and allowances (previously and 

hereinafter referred to as ‘‘pay 

administration’’) under the provisions of 

title 5, United States Code, part III, 

subpart D. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The following information is collected 

from the user: File Number (which is 

sometimes the SSN and sometimes the 

SSN, reformatted); Payee Number; 

Deduction Code (which can be found in 

a letter the user received from the DMC). 

PayVA then verifies the information 

entered by the user against a table 

provided by CARS/CAROLS (an internal 

VA system). If the information entered 

is correct the user is directed to the 

Department of Treasury’s Pay.Gov 

where payment is made, and then a 

form submission with the user’s partial 

bank account number/credit card 

number and payer name is provided to 

PayVA and stored in its database. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

PayVA receives the following 

information from the user, directly, First 

Name, Last Name, Daytime Phone, File 

Number, Payee Number, Person 

Entitled, Deduction Code, and Payment 

Amount. PayVA, then checks whether 

the information entered by the user 

matches what is in the CARS/CAROLS 

table that is received by PayVA, 3 times 

a week; each time the table is refreshed 

the former table is deleted (no historical 

data from CARS/CAROLS is stored in 

PayVA). If the information entered by 

the User matches what is in the table 

received from CARS/CAROLS the user 

is transferred to Pay.Gov (which is 

managed by the Department of 

Treasury), where the payment is made. 

The only information PayVA shares 

with Pay.Gov is the first name, last 

name, and debt amount. The user then 

enters the following information to 

Pay.Gov, the Payment Amount, Account 

Type, Routing Number, and Account 

Number (which would be covered by 

the Department of Treasury’s 

accreditation documentation). Once the 

payment is completed Pay.Gov passes 

payment results including partial bank 

account number, credit card number, 

and payer name which is stored in 

PayVA’s Database. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

1. Congress: VA may disclose 

information from the record of an 

individual in response to an inquiry 

from the congressional office made at 

the request of that individual. 

VA must be able to provide 

information about individuals to 

adequately respond to inquiries from 

Members of Congress at the request of 

constituents who have sought their 

assistance. 

2. Data breach response and remedial 

efforts: VA may disclose information 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 23, 2020 / Notices 84125 

from this system to appropriate 

agencies, entities, and persons when (1) 

VA suspects or has confirmed that there 

has been a breach of the system of 

records; (2) VA has determined that as 

a result of the suspected or confirmed 

breach there is a risk of harm to 

individuals, VA (including its 

information systems, programs, and 

operations), and (3) the Federal 

Government, or national security; and 

the disclosure made to such agencies, 

entities, and persons is reasonably 

necessary to assist in connection with 

VA’s efforts to respond to the suspected 

or confirmed breach or to prevent, 

minimize, or remedy such harm. 

3. Data breach response and remedial 

efforts with another Federal agency: VA 

may disclose information from this 

system to another Federal agency or 

Federal entity, when VA determines 

that information from this system of 

records is reasonably necessary to assist 

the recipient agency or entity in (1) 

responding to a suspected or confirmed 

breach or (2) preventing, minimizing, or 

remedying the risk of harm to 

individuals, the recipient agency or 

entity (including its information 

systems, programs, and operations), the 

Federal Government, or national 

security, resulting from a suspected or 

confirmed breach. 

4. Law Enforcement: VA may, 

disclose information in this system, 

except the names and home addresses of 

veterans and their dependents, which is 

relevant to a suspected or reasonably 

imminent violation of law, whether 

civil, criminal or regulatory in nature 

and whether arising by general or 

program statute or by regulation, rule or 

order issued pursuant thereto, to a 

Federal, state, local, tribal, or foreign 

agency charged with the responsibility 

of investigating or prosecuting such 

violation, or charged with enforcing or 

implementing the statute, regulation, 

rule or order. VA may also disclose the 

names and addresses of veterans and 

their dependents to a Federal agency 

charged with the responsibility of 

investigating or prosecuting civil, 

criminal or regulatory violations of law, 

or charged with enforcing or 

implementing the statute, regulation, 

rule or order issued pursuant thereto. 

VA must be able to provide 

information that pertains to a violation 

of laws to law enforcement authorities 

in order for them to investigate and 

enforce those laws. Under 38 U.S.C. 

5701(a) and (f), VA may disclose the 

names and addresses of veterans and 

their dependents to Federal entities 

with law enforcement responsibilities. 

This is distinct from the authority to 

disclose records in response to a 

qualifying request from a law 

enforcement entity, as authorized by 

Privacy Act subsection 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b)(7). 

5. Litigation: VA may disclose 

information from this system of records 

to the Department of Justice (DoJ), either 

on VA’s initiative or in response to DoJ’s 

request for the information, after either 

VA or DoJ determines that such 

information is relevant to DoJ’s 

representation of the United States or 

any of its components in legal 

proceedings before a court or 

adjudicative body, provided that, in 

each case, the agency also determines 

prior to disclosure that release of the 

records to the DoJ is limited to 

circumstances where relevant and 

necessary to the litigation. VA may 

disclose records in this system of 

records in legal proceedings before a 

court or administrative body after 

determining that release of the records 

to the DoJ is limited to circumstances 

where relevant and necessary to the 

litigation. 

To determine whether to disclose 

records under this routine use, VA will 

comply with the guidance promulgated 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget in a May 24, 1985, memorandum 

entitled ‘‘Privacy Act Guidance— 

Update,’’ currently posted at https://

www.whitehouse.gov/sites/ 

whitehouse.gov/files/omb/assets/OMB/ 

inforeg/guidance1985.pdf. 

VA must be able to provide 

information to DoJ in litigation where 

the United States or any of its 

components is involved or has an 

interest. A determination would be 

made in each instance that under the 

circumstances involved, the purpose is 

compatible with the purpose for which 

VA collected the information. This 

routine use is distinct from the authority 

to disclose records in response to a 

court order under subsection (b)(11) of 

the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(11), or 

any other provision of subsection (b), in 

accordance with the court’s analysis in 

Doe v. DiGenova, 779 F.2d 74, 78–85 

(D.C. Cir. 1985) and Doe v. Stephens, 

851 F.2d 1457, 1465–67 (D.C. Cir. 1988). 

6. Contractors: VA may disclose 

information from this system of records 

to individuals, organizations, private or 

public agencies, or other entities or 

individuals with whom VA has a 

contract or agreement to perform such 

services as VA may deem practicable for 

the purposes of laws administered by 

VA, in order for the contractor, 

subcontractor, public or private agency, 

or other entity or individual with whom 

VA has a contract or agreement to 

perform services under the contract or 

agreement. 

This routine use includes disclosures 

by an individual or entity performing 

services for VA to any secondary entity 

or individual to perform an activity that 

is necessary for individuals, 

organizations, private or public 

agencies, or other entities or individuals 

with whom VA has a contract or 

agreement to provide the service to VA. 

This routine use, which also applies 

to agreements that do not qualify as 

contracts defined by Federal 

procurement laws and regulations, is 

consistent with OMB guidance in OMB 

Circular A–130, App. I, paragraph 

5a(1)(b) that agencies promulgate 

routine uses to address disclosure of 

Privacy Act-protected information to 

contractors in order to perform the 

services contracts for the agency. 

7. Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission (EEOC): VA may disclose 

information from this system to the 

EEOC when requested in connection 

with investigations of alleged or 

possible discriminatory practices, 

examination of Federal affirmative 

employment programs, or other 

functions of the Commission as 

authorized by law or regulation. 

VA must be able to provide 

information to EEOC to assist it in 

fulfilling its duties to protect employees’ 

rights, as required by statute and 

regulation. 

8. Federal Labor Relations Authority 

(FLRA): VA may disclose information 

from this system to the FLRA, including 

its General Counsel, information related 

to the establishment of jurisdiction, 

investigation, and resolution of 

allegations of unfair labor practices, or 

in connection with the resolution of 

exceptions to arbitration awards when a 

question of material fact is raised; for it 

to address matters properly before the 

Federal Service Impasses Panel, 

investigate representation petitions, and 

conduct or supervise representation 

elections. 

VA must be able to provide 

information to FLRA to comply with the 

statutory mandate under which it 

operates. 

9. Merit Systems Protection Board 

(MSPB): VA may disclose information 

from this system to the MSPB, or the 

Office of the Special Counsel, when 

requested in connection with appeals, 

special studies of the civil service and 

other merit systems, review of rules and 

regulations, investigation of alleged or 

possible prohibited personnel practices, 

and such other functions promulgated 

in 5 U.S.C. 1205 and 1206, or as 

authorized by law. 

VA must be able to provide 

information to MSPB to assist it in 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
84126 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 23, 2020 / Notices 

fulfilling its duties as required by statute 

and regulation. 

10. National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA) and General 

Services Administration (GSA): VA may 

disclose information from this system to 

NARA and GSA in records management 

inspections conducted under title 44, 

U.S.C. 

NARA is responsible for archiving old 

records which are no longer actively 

used but may be appropriate for 

preservation, and for the physical 

maintenance of the Federal 

government’s records. VA must be able 

to provide the records to NARA in order 

to determine the proper disposition of 

such records. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Payment results are provided by 

Pay.Gov (system owned by the 

Department of Treasury) upon payment 

completion. The payment results 

contain the following PII which is 

stored indefinitely in PayVA’s Database 

is: Partial bank account number/credit 

card number, and the payer name. 

PayVA also receives a table from CARS/ 

CAROLS (an internal system to VA) 3 

times a week via a SQL job that contains 

the following PII, File Number (which is 

sometimes the SSN), Payee Number and 

Deduction Code. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Automated records of VA claims and 

debts are indexed by VA claim number, 

Social Security account number, name 

and loan account number in appropriate 

circumstances. Paper documents, 

microfilm, microfiche and automated 

records of pay administration debts and 

debts referred to VA for cross servicing 

are indexed by Social Security account 

number or Taxpayer Identification 

Number. Records in CAIVRS may only 

be retrieved by Social Security number. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

These records are retained and 

disposed of in accordance with the 

General Records Schedule 3.1 010–020, 

approved by National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) https:// 

www.archives.gov/files/records-mgmt/ 

grs/grs03-1.pdf. A retention policy 

specific to PayVA is being drafted. This 

PIA will be updated with that 

information upon completion; until that 

time, PayVA is retaining all records 

indefinitely. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

1. Physical Security: 

(a) Access to working spaces and 

document storage areas in DMC is 

restricted by cipher locks and to VA 

employees on a need-to-know basis. 

Generally, document storage areas in 

VA offices other than DMC are restricted 

to VA employees on a need-to-know 

basis. VA offices are generally protected 

from outside access by the Federal 

Protective Service or other security 

personnel. Strict control measures are 

enforced to ensure that access to and 

disclosure from documents, microfilm 

and microfiche are limited to a need-toknow basis. 

(b) Access to PayVA data 

telecommunications terminals is by 

authorization controlled by the site 

security officer. The security officer is 

assigned responsibility for privacysecurity measures, especially for review 

of violation logs, information logs and 

control of password distribution. 

(c) Access to data processing centers 

is generally restricted to center 

employees, custodial personnel, Federal 

Protective Service and other security 

personnel. Access to computer rooms is 

restricted to authorized operational 

personnel through electronic locking 

devices. All other personnel gaining 

access to computer rooms are escorted. 

2. PayVA and Personal Computer 

Local Area Network (LAN) Security: 

(a) Usage of PayVA and LAN terminal 

equipment is authenticated by SingleSign-On (SSOI) Two Factor 

Authentication (2FA). Electronic 

keyboard locks are activated on security 

errors. 

(b) At the data processing centers, 

identification of magnetic media 

containing data is rigidly enforced using 

labeling techniques. Automated storage 

media which are not in use are stored 

in tape libraries which are secured in 

locked rooms. Access to programs is 

controlled at three levels: Programming, 

auditing and operations. 

(c) Department of the Treasury 

Security: Access to the system is on a 

need-to-know basis, only, as authorized 

by the system manager. Procedural and 

physical safeguards are utilized to 

include accountability, receipt records 

and specialized communications 

security. The data system has an 

internal mechanism to restrict access to 

authorized officials. The building is 

patrolled by uniformed security guards.
