SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. General

The Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law

(Pub.L.) 100–503), amended the Privacy

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by establishing the

conditions under which computer

matching involving the Federal

government could be performed and

adding certain protections for

individuals applying for and receiving

Federal benefits. Section 7201 of the

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of

1990 (Pub.L. 101–508) further amended

the Privacy Act regarding protections for

such individuals. The Privacy Act, as

amended, regulates the use of computer

matching by Federal agencies when

records in a system of records are

matched with other Federal, State or

local government records. Among other

things, it requires Federal agencies

involved in computer matching

programs to:

(1) Negotiate written agreements with

the other agency or agencies

participating in the matching programs;

(2) Obtain the approval of the match

agreement by the Data Integrity Boards

(DIB) of the participating Federal

Agencies;

(3) Furnish detailed reports about

matching programs to Congress and

OMB;

(4) Notify applicants and beneficiaries

that their records are subject to

matching; and

(5) Verify match findings before

reducing, suspending, terminating or

denying an individual’s benefits or

payments.

B. SSA Computer Matches Subject to

the Privacy Act

We have taken action to ensure that

all of SSA’s computer matching

programs comply with the requirements

of the Privacy Act, as amended.

Dated: July 13, 2000.

Deputy Commissioner for Disability and

B. Purpose of the Matching Program

The purpose of this matching program

Lung benefits, as required by the Social

Security Act (the Act).

C. Authority for Conducting the

Matching Program

Section 224(h)(1) of the Act, 42 U.S.C.

(h)(1).

D. Categories of Records and

Individuals Covered by the Match

DOL will provide SSA with a

magnetic tape file extracted from the

Office of Workers’ Compensation

Programs Black Lung Benefits Payments

File. The extracted file will contain

information about all live miners, under

age 65, entitled to Part C Black Lung

benefits. Each record on the DOL file

will be matched with SSA’s Master

Beneficiary Record to identify

individuals potentially subject to benefit

reductions, due to their receipt of Part

C Black Lung benefits, under section

224 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C.

424.

E. Inclusive Dates of the Match

program will continue for 18 months

from the effective date and may be
