MATCHING PROGRAMS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2019

In calendar year 2019, the Board reviewed and approved 56 re-establishments and 5 renewal 

matching agreements. 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.
