MATCHING PROGRAMS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2020 

In calendar year 2020, the Board reviewed and approved 7 re-establishments and 56 renewal 

matching agreements. On January 23, 2020, the matching agreement between the Department of 

Housing and Urban Development – Fiscal Service/Do Not Pay expired. All computer matching 

activities associated with this agreement were suspended on the expiration date. A 

reestablishment CMA is pending review and approval. The Board did not disapprove any of the 

proposed agreements and all requested extensions were granted. No violations of any of the 

Department’s matching agreements were alleged or identified.

The Inspector General Empowerment Act of 2016 includes an Inspector General (IG) exemption 

to the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (CMPPA). This exemption 

excuses IGs from obtaining formal matching agreements before matching data with other 

agencies and entities to identify fraud and waste. As a result, Treasury will not discuss any 

computer matching agreements in which the Treasury Office of the Inspector General (OIG), 

Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), or the Special Inspector General 

for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) are participants.
