SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 

U.S.C. 552a) provides certain 

protections for individuals applying for 

and receiving federal benefits. The law 

governs the use of computer matching 

by federal agencies when records in a 

system of records (meaning, federal 

agency records about individuals 

retrieved by name or other personal 

identifier) are matched with records of 

other federal or non-federal agencies. 

The Privacy Act requires agencies 

involved in a matching program to: 

1. Enter into a written agreement, 

which must be prepared in accordance 

with the Privacy Act, approved by the 

Data Integrity Board of each source and 

recipient federal agency, provided to 

Congress and the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB), and made available 

to the public, as required by 5 U.S.C. 

552a(o), (u)(3)(A), and (u)(4). 

2. Notify the individuals whose 

information will be used in the 

matching program that the information 

they provide is subject to verification 

through matching, as required by 5 

U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(D). 

3. Verify match findings before 

suspending, terminating, reducing, or 

making a final denial of an individual’s 

benefits or payments or taking other 

adverse action against the individual, as 

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(p). 

4. Report the matching program to 

Congress and the OMB, in advance and 

annually, as required by 5 U.S.C. 

552a(o) (2)(A)(i), (r), and (u)(3)(D). 

5. Publish advance notice of the 

matching program in the Federal 

Register as required by 5 U.S.C. 

552a(e)(12). 

This matching program meets these 

requirements.

& Medicaid Services. 

PARTICIPATING AGENCIES: 

The Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) is the 

recipient agency, and the Department of 

the Treasury (Treasury), Internal 

Revenue Services (IRS) is the source 

agency. 

AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING

PROGRAM: 

The statutory authority for the 

matching program is 42 U.S.C. 18001. 

PURPOSE(S): 

The purpose of the matching program 

is to provide CMS with IRS return 

information which CMS and state-based 

administering entities (AEs) will use to 

verify household income and family 

size for applicants and enrollees 

receiving (1) initial determinations of 

eligibility to enroll in a qualified health 

plan (including the Medicaid/Children’s 

Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and a 

state’s basic health program) through a 

federally-facilitated exchange 

established under the Affordable Care 

Act (ACA) and for insurance 

affordability programs (including 

advance payments of the premium tax 

credit and cost sharing reductions) and 

certificates of exemption; and (2) 

subsequent eligibility redetermination 

and renewal decisions, including appeal 

decisions. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS: 

The individuals whose information 

will be used in the matching program 

are consumers (applicants and 

enrollees) who receive the eligibility 

determinations described in the 

preceding Purpose(s) section (in 

particular, taxpayers whose return 

information is requested from IRS to 

verify an applicant’s or enrollee’s 

household income and family size). 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS: 

The categories of records used in the 

matching program are identity 

information and return information 

(specifically, household income and 

family size information). To request 

return information from IRS, CMS will 

provide IRS with the relevant taxpayer’s 

name, social security number (SSN), 

and relationship to the applicant(s) or 

enrollee(s) (i.e., primary, spouse, or 

dependent). When IRS is able to match 

the SSN and name provided by CMS 

and return information is available, IRS 

will disclose to CMS the following items 

of return information with respect to 

that taxpayer: 

1. SSN; 

2. family size; 

3. tax filing status; 

4. modified adjusted gross income 

(MAGI); 

5. taxable year with respect to which 

the preceding information relates or, if 

applicable, the fact that such 

information is not available; and 

6. any other specified item of return 

information authorized pursuant to 26 

U.S.C. 6103(1)(21) and its implementing 

regulations.

The records used in this matching 

program will be disclosed from the
