BILLING CODE 3410–30–P 

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Food and Nutrition Service 

Privacy Act of 1974; Computer 

Matching Program 

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service 

(FNS), USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of reestablished 

matching program. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food 

and Nutrition Service (FNS) is 

providing notice of a reestablished 

computer matching program between 

FNS and the State agencies that 

administer the Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program (SNAP). The 

matching program allows State agencies 

access to the Electronic Disqualified 

Recipient System (eDRS), a national 

database operated by FNS. The system 

maintains records of SNAP 

disqualifications imposed by State 

agencies on individuals who have been 

found to have committed an intentional 

program violation (IPV). State agencies 

need access to nationwide 

disqualification information to meet 

program integrity requirements because 

a disqualification in any State applies to 

SNAP nationally. Matches against eDRS 

enhance program integrity by providing 

State agencies assistance in determining 

eligibility for SNAP benefits and the 

proper disqualification length when 

imposing a new disqualification. 

DATES: The deadline for comments on 

this notice is February 3, 2021. The 

effective date of the reestablished 

matching program will be not sooner 

than 30 days from the publication of 

this notice, provided no comments are 

received that result in a contrary 

determination. The matching program 

will be conducted for an initial term of 

18 months and, within three months of 

expiration, may be renewed for one 

additional year if the parties make no 

change to the matching program and 

certify that the program has been 

conducted in compliance with the 

agreement. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may 

submit written comments on this notice 

to Maribelle Balbes, Chief, State 

Administration Branch, Program 

Accountability and Administration 

Division, SNAP, by email at 

SM.FN.SNAPSAB@usda.gov, or by mail 

at 1320 Braddock Place, Alexandria, 

Virginia 22314. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions about the matching 

program, you may contact Maribelle 

Balbes, (703) 605–4272. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 

U.S.C. 552a, provides certain 

protections for individuals applying for 

and receiving federal benefits. The law 

governs the use of computer matching 

by federal agencies when records in a 

system of records, which contains 

information about individuals that are 

retrieved by name or other personal 

identifier, are matched with records of 

other Federal, State, or local government 

records. The Privacy Act requires 

agencies involved in a matching 

program to: 

1. Obtain approval of a Computer 

Matching Agreement, prepared in 

accordance with the Privacy Act, by the 

Data Integrity Board of any Federal 

agency participating in a matching 

program. 

2. Enter into a written Computer 

Matching Agreement. 

3. Provide a report of the matching 

program to Congress and the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), and 

make it available to the public, as 

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(o), (u)(3)(A), 

and (u)(4). 

4. Publish a notice of the matching 

program in the Federal Register as 

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(12) after 

OMB and Congress complete their 

review of the report, as provided by 

OMB Circular A–108, Federal Agency 

Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, 

and Publication under the Privacy Act. 

5. Notify the individuals whose 

information will be used in the 

matching program that the information 

they provide is subject to verification 

through matching, as required by 5 

U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(D). 

6. Verify match findings before 

suspending, terminating, reducing, or 

making a final denial of an individual’s 

benefits or payments or taking other 

adverse action against the individual, as 

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(p). 

This matching program meets these 

requirements. 

Participating Agencies: FNS and the 

State agencies that administer SNAP to 

include all 50 States, the District of 

Columbia, and the territories of Guam 

and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 

Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program: The Food and 

Nutrition Act of 2008 (the Act), as 

amended, 7 U.S.C. 2015(b), provides the 

legal authority for conducting the 

matching program. Section 6(b) of the 

Act, prescribes mandatory periods of 

ineligibility for persons found to have 

committed an IPV such as fraud, 

misrepresentation, or other violation of 

statute or regulation in connection with 

SNAP. Section 6(b)(4) prescribes 

regulations to ensure that appropriate 

State and Federal entities forward 

information concerning determinations 

arising out of such proscribed activity 

by a specific individual. 

Purpose: The eDRS matching program 

maintains program integrity and reduces 

payment errors by providing 

information to assist State agencies with 

establishing or verifying the eligibility 

of individuals for SNAP benefits and 

determining the appropriate 

disqualification period to be imposed 

for a new IPV as required in regulations 

at 7 CFR 273.16, Disqualification for 

intentional Program violation. Each 

State agency must submit information 

about individuals who have been 

disqualified from SNAP within their 

State to eDRS. As a participant in this 

matching program, each State agency 

has access to this national system to 

both submit the required information for 

their State and perform the required 

matches against information provided 

by all State agencies. 

Categories of Individuals: SNAP 

applicants and new household members 

are matched against eDRS as part of the 

eligibility determination process to 

ensure the individual is not currently 

disqualified from receiving benefits due 

to an IPV. Individuals who are being 

disqualified by a State agency due to a 

new IPV finding are matched against 

eDRS to assist the State agency in 

determining the appropriate duration of 

the new disqualification. 

Categories of Records: The data 

elements in eDRS provide information 

about individuals who have been 

disqualified, the disqualification details, 

and the agency that imposed the 

disqualification. State agencies submit 

this information about disqualifications 

imposed in their State and this 

information is then available to all 

participating State agencies with access 

to eDRS. State agencies use personally 

identifying information to search eDRS 

for the individual being matched. 

1. Information about the disqualified 

individual: 

• Name 

• Social security number or 

alternative ID 

• Date of birth 

• Gender 

• Alias 

2. Disqualification details: 

• Disqualification number 

• Disqualification decision date 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 1 / Monday, January 4, 2021 / Notices 55 

• Disqualification start date 

• Duration of disqualification period 

• Offense code 

3. Agency information: 

• Locality code 

• Locality contact name, title, 

location, and phone number 

System of Records: The system of 

records for this data exchange 

comprising eDRS is USDA/FNS–5, 

Information on Persons Disqualified 

from the Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program, 75 FR 81205 (Dec. 

27, 2010). This data exchange is 

authorized under routine uses.
