SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Description of the Matching Program 

A. General 

The Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100– 

503), amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 

552a) by describing the manner in 

which computer matching involving 

Federal agencies 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 (SOR) are 

matched with other Federal, state, or 

local government records. It requires 

Federal agencies involved in computer 

matching programs to: 

1. Negotiate written agreements with 

the other agencies participating in the 

matching programs; 

2. Obtain the Data Integrity Board 

approval of the match agreements; 

3. Furnish detailed reports about 

matching programs to Congress and 

OMB; 

4. Notify applicants and beneficiaries 

that the records are subject to matching; 

and, 

5. Verify match findings before 

reducing, suspending, terminating, or 

denying an individual’s benefits or 

payments. 

B. CMS Computer Matches Subject to 

the Privacy Act 

CMS has taken action to ensure that 

all CMPs that this Agency participates 

in comply with the requirements of the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. 

Dated: November 21, 2013.

NAME: 

‘‘Computer Matching Agreement 

between the Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) and the 

Purchased Care at the Health 

Administration Center (PC@HAC) of the 

Department of Veterans Affairs for 

Verification of CHAMPVA Eligibility.’’ 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:

AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING MATCHING

PROGRAM: 

This Computer Matching Program 

(CMP) is executed to comply with the 

provisions of Public Laws (Pub. L.) 93– 

82, 94–581, 102–190, and 107–14 

(codified at Title 38 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) 1713) that restrict CHAMPVA 

eligibility for benefits dependent upon a 

beneficiary’s Medicare Part A and Part

PURPOSE(S) OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM: 

The purpose of this computer 

matching agreement is to establish the 

conditions, safeguards and procedures 

under which the CMS and PC@HAC 

will conduct a computer-matching 

program to determine entitlement to 

CHAMPVA benefits. Under the terms of 

this matching agreement, PC@HAC will 

provide to CMS a list of social security 

numbers (SSN) for all CHAMPVA 

eligible beneficiaries who may also be 

eligible for Medicare benefits. This 

information is maintained in PC@HAC’s 

System of Records (SOR) entitled 

‘‘Health Administration Center Civilian 

Health and Medical Program RecordsVA.’’ CMS agrees to conduct a computer 

match of the SSNs of beneficiaries 

provided by PC@HAC against the 

information found in CMS’s Enrollment 

Database (EDB) SOR. PC@HAC will 

receive the results of the computer 

match in order to determine a 

beneficiary’s eligibility for care under 

CHAMPVA. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS AND INDIVIDUALS

COVERED BY THE MATCH: 

Upon establishment of the CHAMPVA 

program under Public Law 93–82, 

CHAMPVA entitlement will be 

terminated when any individual 

becomes eligible for Medicare Part A 

(Hospital Insurance) on a non-premium 

basis. Public Law 94–581 provided for 

reinstatement of CHAMPVA as second 

payer for beneficiaries aged 65 and over 

who exhausted a period of Medicare 

Part A (Hospital Insurance). These 

beneficiaries must also be enrolled in 

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) in 

order to retain their CHAMPVA 

entitlement. Public Law 102–190 

extended CHAMPVA benefit to age 65 

for any beneficiary eligible for Medicare 

Part A on the basis of disability/end 

stage renal disease (ESRD) only if that 

individual is also enrolled in Medicare 

Part B. Public Law 107–14 provided for 

extending benefit coverage for 

beneficiaries over the age of 65 years if 

the beneficiary is in receipt of Medicare 

Part A and Medicare Part B. 

DESCRIPTION OF RECORDS TO BE USED IN THE

MATCHING PROGRAM: 

A. Systems of Records 

1. Records Maintained by PC@HAC 

The information used in this 

matching program is maintained in the 

PC@HAC system identified as 54VA16, 

entitled ‘‘Health Administration Center 

Civilian Health and Medical Program 

Records-VA,’’ last published at 68 Fed. 

Reg. 53784 (September 12, 2003). SSNs 

of CHAMPVA beneficiaries will be 

released to CMS pursuant to the routine 

use number 21 as set forth in the system 

notice. 

2. Records Maintained by CMS 

The matching program will be 

conducted with data maintained by 

CMS in the EDB, System No. 09–70– 

0502, published at 73 Fed. Reg. 10249 

(February 26, 2008). Matched data will 

be released to PC@HAC pursuant to the 

routine use number 2 as set forth in the 

system notice. 

INCLUSIVE DATES OF THE MATCH: 

The CMP shall become effective no 

sooner than 40 days after the report of 

the Matching Program is sent to OMB 

and Congress, or 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register, 

whichever is later. The matching 

program will continue for 18 months 

from the effective date and may be 

extended for an additional 12 months 

thereafter, if certain conditions are met.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Proposed Projects 

Title: Child and Family Services Plan 

(CFSP), Annual Progress and Services 

Review (APSR), and Annual Budget 

Expenses Request and Estimated 

Expenditures (CFS–101). 

OMB No.: 0970–0426. 

Description: Under title IV–B, 

subparts 1 and 2, of the Social Security 

Act (the Act), States, Territories, and 

Tribes are required to submit a Child 

and Family Services Plan (CFSP). The 

CFSP lays the groundwork for a system 

of coordinated, integrated, and 

culturally relevant family services for 

the subsequent five years (45 CFR 

1357.15(a)(1)). The CFSP outlines 

initiatives and activities the State, Tribe 

or territory will carry out in 

administering programs and services to 

promote the safety, permanency, and 

well-being of children and families. By 

June 30 of each year, States, Territories, 

and Tribes are also required to submit 

an Annual Progress and Services Report 

(APSR) and a financial report called the 

CFS–101. The APSR is a Yearly report 

that discusses progress made by a State, 

Territory or Tribe in accomplishing the 

goals and objectives cited in its CFSP 

(45 CFR 1357.16(a)). The APSR contains 

new and updated information about 

service needs and organizational 

capacities throughout the five-year plan 

period. The CFS–101 has three parts. 

Part I is an annual budget request for the 

upcoming fiscal year. Part II includes a 

summary of planned expenditures by 

program area for the upcoming fiscal 

year, the estimated number of 

individuals or families to be served, and 

the geographical service area. Part III 

includes actual expenditures by 

program area, numbers of families and 

individuals served by program area, and 

the geographic areas served for the last 

complete fiscal year. 

The Child and Family Services 

Improvement Act of 2006 amended Title 

IV–B, subparts 1 and 2, adding a 

number of requirements that affect 

reporting through the APSR and the 

CFS–101. Of particular note, the law 

added a provision requiring States 

(including Puerto Rico and the District 

of Columbia) to report data on 

caseworker visits (section 424(e) of the 

Act). States must provide annual data 

on 1) the percentage of children in foster 

care under the responsibility of the State 

who were visited on a monthly basis by 

the caseworker handling the case of the 

child; and 2) the percentage of the visits 

that occurred in the residence of the 

child. In addition, by June 30, 2008, 

States must set target percentages and 

establish strategies to meet the goal that; 

by October 1, 2011; at least 90 percent 

of the children in foster care are visited 

by their caseworkers on a monthly basis 

and that the majority of these visits 

occur in the residence of the child 

(section 424(e)(2)(A) of the Act). 

Respondents: States, Territories, and 

Tribes must complete the CFSP, APSR, 

and CFS–101. Tribes and territories are 

exempted from the monthly caseworker 

visits reporting requirement of the 

APSR. There are approximately 180 

Tribal entities that are eligible for IV–B 

funding. There are 52 States (including 

Puerto Rico and the District of 

Columbia) that must complete the CFSP, 

APSR, and CFS–101. There are a total of 

232 possible respondents.
