DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID: DOD–2011–OS–0098] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of a 

Computer Matching Program 

AGENCY: Defense Manpower Data 

Center, Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of a computer matching 

program. 

SUMMARY: Subsection (e)(12) of the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 

(5 U.S.C. 552a) requires agencies to 

publish advance notice of any proposed 

or revised computer matching program 

by the matching agency for public 

comment; however, this notification 

will be completed by DoD, the matching 

agency. The DoD, as the matching 

agency under the Privacy Act is hereby 

giving notice to the record subjects of a 

computer matching program between 

the Social Security Administration 

(SSA) and DoD Defense Manpower Data 

Center (DMDC) that their records are 

being matched by computer. The 

purpose of this agreement is to verify 

applicants for, and recipients of 

Supplement Security Income (SSI) 

payments and Special Veterans Benefits 

(SVB) with respect of determination of 

eligibility and calculating payment 

amounts. 

DATES: This proposed action will 

become effective October 14, 2011 and 

matching may commence unless 

changes to the matching program are 

required due to public comments or by 

Congressional or by Office of 

Management and Budget objections. 

Any public comment must be received 

before the effective date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and/ 

Regulatory Information Number (RIN) 

and title, by any of the following 

methods: 

• Federal Rulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Mail: Federal Docket Management 

System Office, 4800 Mark Center Drive, 

Suite 02G09, Alexandria, VA 22350– 

3100. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

docket number or Regulatory 

Information Number (RIN) for this

interested party may submit written 

comments to Mr. Samuel P. Jenkins, 

Director, Defense Privacy and Civil 

Liberties Office, 1901 South Bell Street, 

Suite 920, Arlington, VA 22202–4512, 

or by telephone at (703) 607–2943. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended, (5 U.S.C. 552a), the 

DoD DMDC and SSA have concluded an 

agreement to conduct a computer 

matching program between the agencies. 

The purpose of this agreement is to 

verify eligibility of individual’s of 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

payments and the entitlement of 

individuals to Special Veterans Benefits 

(SVB). 

The parties to this agreement have 

determined that a computer matching 

program is the most efficient, 

expeditious, and effective means of 

obtaining the information needed by the 

SSA under the Social Security Act to 

verify the eligibility/entitlement of and 

to verify payment/benefit amounts for 

certain SSI and SVB recipients/ 

beneficiaries. Conducting such a manual 

match would impose a considerable 

administrative burden, constitute a 

greater intrusion of the individual’s 

privacy and would result in additional 

delay in the eventual SSI payment and 

SVB benefit recovery of unauthorized or 

erroneous payment, and not all 

individuals would be identified. A copy 

of the computer matching agreement 

between SSA and DMDC is available 

upon request to the public. Requests 

should be submitted to the address 

caption above or interested parties may 

comment on this notice by either telefaxing to (410) 966–0869 or writing to 

the Executive Director, Office of Privacy 

and Disclosure, Office of the General 

Counsel, 617 Altmeyer Building, 6401 

Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 

21235–6401. All comments received 

will be available for public inspection at 

this address. 

Set forth below is the notice of the 

establishment of a computer matching 

program required by paragraph 6.c. of 

the Office of Management and Budget 

Guidelines on computer matching 

published in the Federal Register at 

54 FR 25818 on June 19, 1989. 

The matching agreement, as required 

by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act, 

and an advance copy of this notice was 

submitted on September 9, 2011, to the 

House Committee on Government 

Reform, the Senate Committee on 

Governmental Affairs, and the 

Administrator of the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget 

pursuant to paragraph 4d of Appendix 

I to OMB Circular No. A–130, ‘‘Federal 

Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining 

Records about Individuals,’’ February 8, 

1996 (February 20, 1996, 61 FR 6427). 

Dated: September 9, 2011.

Computer Matching Program Between 

the Social Security Administration and 

the Department of Defense for 

Verification of Social Security 

Supplemental Security Income 

Payments and Special Veterans Benefits 

A. Participating Agencies: 

Participants in this computer matching 

program are the Social Security 

Administration (SSA) and the Defense 

Manpower Data Center (DMDC) of the 

Department of Defense (DoD). The SSA 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 14, 2011 / Notices 56745 

is the source agency, i.e., the activity 

disclosing the records for the purpose of 

the match. The DMDC is the specific 

recipient activity or matching agency, 

i.e., the agency that actually performs 

the computer matching. 

B. Purpose of the Match: The Social 

Security Act requires SSA to verify, 

with independent or collateral sources, 

information provided to SSA by 

recipients of SSI payments and 

beneficiaries of SVB benefits. The SSI 

and SVB recipient/beneficiaries 

provides information about eligibility/ 

entitlement factors and other relevant 

information. SSA obtains additional 

information as necessary before making 

any determinations of eligibility/ 

payment or entitlement/benefit amounts 

or adjustments thereto. With respect to 

military retirement payments to SSI 

recipients and SVB beneficiaries who 

are retired members of the Uniformed 

Services or their survivors, SSA 

proposes to accomplish this task by 

computer matching with the DOD. 

C. Authority for Conducting the 

Match: This CMA is executed to comply 

with the Privacy Act of 1974 (section 

552a of title 5 United States Code 

(U.S.C.), as amended, (as amended by 

Public Law (Pub. L.) 100–503, the 

Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Circular A–130, titled 

‘‘Management of Federal Information 

Resources’’ at 61 Federal Register (FR) 

6435, February 20, 1996 and OMB 

guidelines pertaining to computer 

matching at 54 FR 25818, June 1989. 

The legal authority for this exchange is 

sections 806(b) and 1631(e)(1)(B)(f) of 

the Act (42 U.S.C. 1006(b) and 

1383(e)(1)(B)(f)). SSA’s legal authority to 

disclose data to DoD/Defense Manpower 

Data Center (DMDC) is section 1106(a) 

of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)) and the 

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3)). 

D. Records To Be Matched: The 

systems of records maintained by the 

respective agencies under the Privacy 

Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, 

from which records will be disclosed for 

the purpose of this computer match are 

as follows: 

SSA will use records from a system of 

records identified as 60–0103, entitled 

‘‘Supplemental Security Income Record 

and Special Veterans Benefits, SSA/ 

ODSSIS,’’ last published in the Federal 

Register at 71 FR 1830, January 11, 

2006. Disclosure of data will be 

pursuant to Routine Use (RU) number 3 

and 19. 

DoD will use the system of records 

identified as DMDC 01, entitled, 

‘‘Defense Manpower Data Center Data 

Base’’, published 74 FR 39666 (August 

17, 2009). Disclosure of DMDC data will 

be pursuant to Routine Use Number 5b. 

E. Description of Computer Matching 

Program: SSA, as the source agency, 

will provide DMDC with an electronic 

file which contains the data elements. 

Upon receipt of the electronic file, 

DMDC, as the recipient agency, will 

perform a computer match using all 

nine digits of the SSN of the SSI/SVB 

file against a DMDC database which 

contains the data elements. The DMDC 

database consists of extracts of 

personnel and pay records of retired 

members of the uniformed services or 

their survivors. The ‘‘hits’’ or matches 

will be furnished to SSA. SSA is 

responsible for verifying and 

determining that the data on the DMDC 

electronic reply file are consistent with 

the SSA source file and resolving any 

discrepancies or inconsistencies on an 

individual basis. SSA will also be 

responsible for making final 

determinations as to eligibility for/ 

entitlement to, or amount of payments/ 

benefits, their continuation or needed 

adjustments, or any recovery of 

overpayments as a result of the match. 

1. The electronic file provided by SSA 

will contain approximately 9.5 million 

records extracted from the SSR/SVB. 

2. The electronic DMDC database 

contains records on approximately 2.4 

million retired uniformed service 

members or their survivors. 

F. Inclusive Dates of the Matching 

Program: This computer matching 

program is subject to public comment 

and review by Congress and the Office 

of Management and Budget. If the 

mandatory 30 day period for comment 

has expired and no comments are 

received and if no objections are raised 

by either Congress or the Office of 

Management and Budget within 40 days 

of being notified of the proposed match, 

the computer matching program 

becomes effective and the respective 

agencies may begin the exchange at a 

mutually agreeable time and thereafter 

on a quarterly basis. By agreement 

between SSA and DMDC, the matching 

program will be in effect for 18 months 

with an option to renew for 12 

additional months unless one of the 

parties to the agreement advises the 

other by written request to terminate or 

modify the agreement.
