Participating Agencies: The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS–USCIS) is the source agency and the Massachusetts Division of Unemployment Assistance (MA–DUA) is the recipient agency.

Purpose of the Match: This Computer Matching agreement allows DHS–USCIS to provide MA–DUA with electronic access to immigration status information contained within the DHS–USCIS Verification Information System (VIS). The immigration status information will enable MA–DUA to determine whether an applicant is eligible for benefits under the Unemployment Compensation (UC) program administered by MA–DUA.

Authority for Conducting the Matching Program: Section 121 of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, Public Law 99–603, as amended by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), requires DHS to establish a system for the verification of immigration status of alien applicants for, or recipients of, certain types of benefits and to make this system available to state agencies that administer such benefits.
