1988 (Pub. L. 100–503) and the 

Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Amendments of 1990 (Pub. L.

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

Matching Program: Section 121 of the 

Immigration Reform and Control Act

amended by the Personal Responsibility

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

determinations in order to prevent the

the DHS–USCIS system established and 

made available to MA–DUA and other 

covered agencies for use in making 

these eligibility determinations. 

MA–DUA seeks access to the 

information contained in DHS–USCIS 

VIS database for the purpose of 

confirming the immigration status of 

alien applicants for, or recipients of, the 

benefits it administers, in order to 

discharge its obligation to conduct such 

verifications pursuant to Section 1137 of
