Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 147 / Thursday, July 31, 1997 / Notices 41079

1Effective July 1, 1997, IRCA was amended by the

Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity

Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), Pub. L. 104–193,

110 Stat. 2168 (1996). The PRWORA amends IRCA

by replacing the reference to ‘‘Aid to Families with

Dependent Children’’ (AFDC), with a reference to

its successor program, ‘‘Temporary Assistance for

Needy Families’’ (TANF). As was the case with

AFDC, states are required to verify through SAVE

that an applicant or recipient is in an eligible alien

status for TANF benefits. In addition, Section 840

of the PRWORA makes verification for eligibility

under the Food Stamps Program voluntary on the

part of the State agency rather than mandatory.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

[AAG/A Order No. 140–97]

Prvacy Act of 1974, As Amended by

The Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988

This notice is published in the

Federal Register in accordance with the

requirements of the Privacy Act, as

amended by the Computer Matching

and Privacy Protection Act of 1988

(CMPPA) (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(12)). The

Immigration and Naturalization Service

(INS), Department of Justice (the source

agency), is participating in computer

matching programs with the District of

Columbia and agencies of five states (all

designated as recipient agencies). These

matching activities will permit the

recipient agencies to confirm the

immigration status of alien applicants

for, or recipients of, Federal benefits

assistance under the ‘‘Systematic Alien

Verification for Entitlements (SAVE)’’

program as required by the Immigration

Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986

(Pub. L. 99–603).1

Specifically, the matching activities

will permit the following eligibility

determinations:
41080 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 147 / Thursday, July 31, 1997 / Notices

2 Identified in previous computer matching

notices as the Colorado Department of Social

Services.

(1) The District of Columbia

Department of Employment Services,

the New York Department of Labor, the

New Jersey Department of Labor, and

the Texas Workforce Commission will

be able to determine eligibility for

unemployment compensation;

(2) The California State Department of

Social Services will be able to determine

eligibility status for the TANF program

and the Food Stamps program;

(3) The California State Department of

Health Services will be able to

determine eligibility status for the

Medicaid Program; and

(4) The Colorado Department of

Human Services 2 will be able to

determine the eligibility status for the

Medicaid, TANF, and Food Stamps

Programs.

Section 121(c) of IRCA amends

Section 1137 of the Social Security and

other statutes to require agencies which

administer the Federal Benefits

programs designated within IRCA to use

the INS verification system to determine

eligibility. Accordingly, through the use

of user identification codes and

passwords, authorized persons from

these agencies may electronically access

the database of an INS system of records

entitled ‘‘Alien Status Verification

Index, Justice/INS–009.’’ From its

automated records system, any agency

(named above) participating in these

matching programs may enter

electronically into the INS database the

alien registration number of the

applicant or recipient. This action will

initiate a search of the INS database for

a corresponding alien registration

number. Where such number is located,

the agency will receive electronically

from the INS database the following

data upon which to determine

eligibility: alien registration number,

last name, first name, date of birth,

country of birth, social security number

(if available), date of entry, immigration

status data, and employment eligibility

data. In accordance with 5 U.S.C.

552a(p), such agencies will provide the

alien applicant with 30 days notice and

an opportunity to contest any adverse

finding before final action is taken

against that alien because of ineligible

immigration status as established

through the computer match.

The original effective date of the

matching programs was January 19,

1990, for which notice was published in

the Federal Register on December 28,

1989 (54 FR 53382). The programs have

continued to date under the authority of

a series of new approvals as required by

the CMPPA. The CMPPA provides that

based upon approval by agency Data

Integrity Boards of a new computer

matching agreement, computer

matching activities may be conducted

for 18 months and, contingent upon

specific conditions, may be similarly

extended by the Board for an additional

year without the necessity of a new

agreement. The most recent one-year

extension for those programs listed in

items (1) through (4) above will expire

on August 27, 1997. Therefore, with the

exception of the California Department

of Social Services matching program for

which approval for the full 18-month

period is contingent upon a favorable

cost-benefit showing within 6 months

from the effective date of the new

agreement, the Department’s Data

Integrity Board has approved new

agreements to permit the above-named

computer matching programs to

continue for another 18-month period

from the effective date (described

below).

Matching activities under the new

agreements will be effective 30 days

after publication of this computer

matching notice in the Federal Register,

or 40 days after a report concerning the

computer matching program has been

transmitted to the Office of Management

and Budget, and transmitted to Congress

along with a copy of the agreements,

whichever is later. Except as noted

above, the agreements (and matching

activities) will continue for a period of

18 months from the effective date—

unless, within 3 months prior to the

expiration of the agreement, the Data

Integrity Board approves a one-year

extension pursuant to 5 U.S.C.

552a(o)(2)(D).

In accordance with 5 U.S.C.

552a(o)(2)(A) and (r), the required report

is being provided to the Office of

Management and Budget, and to the

Congress together with a copy of the

agreements. Inquiries may be addressed

to Patricia E. Neely, Program Analyst,

Information Resources Management,

Justice Management Division,

Information Management and Security

Staff, Department of Justice,

Washington, DC. 20530.
