plans to conduct with OPM.

subject matching program with the

Committee on Governmental Affairs of

the House of Representatives and the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

Budget (OMB). The matching program

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: December 19, 1997.

Kenneth S. Apfel,

Commissioner of Social Security.

Notice of Computer Matching Program,

Social Security Administration (SSA)

With the Office of Personnel

Management (OPM)

A. Participating Agencies

SSA and OPM.

B. Purpose of the Matching Program

This matching program will have four

separate components. The purposes of

each of these parts are as follows.

SSA Match 1021: SSA will match

OPM’s civil service benefit and payment

data with SSA’s records of beneficiaries

receiving Social Security spouse’s

benefits which are subject to reduction

under the Social Security Act when the

beneficiary is also receiving a

government pension based on

employment not covered under that Act.

SSA will match the OPM data to verify

information provided (or identify

information that should have been

provided) by the SSA beneficiary at the

time of initially applying for Social

Security benefits and on a continuing

basis to ensure that any reduction in

Social Security benefits is based on the

current pension amount.

SSA Match 1020: OPM records will be

used in a matching program wherein

SSA will match OPM’s benefit data with

SSA’s records for disabled and retired

annuitants. These annuitants may be

subject to the use of a modified benefit

computation formula used by SSA

under the Social Security Act for certain

persons who receive both a civil service

benefit and a Social Security retirement

or disability benefit. SSA will use the

OPM data to verify the pension or

annuity information provided (or to

identify such information that should

have been provided) directly to SSA by

the retirees/annuitants.

SSA Match 1005: OPM records will be

used in a matching program where SSA

will match OPM’s data with SSA’s

records to verify the accuracy of

information furnished by applicants and

recipients concerning eligibility factors

for the SSI program as authorized by

section 1631(e)(1)(B) and (f) of the

Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.

1383(e)(1)(B) and (f)). The SSI program

provides payments to individuals who

have income and resources below levels

established by law and regulations.
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 12 / Tuesday, January 20, 1998 / Notices 3013

SSA Match 1019: SSA will match

OPM’s records of civil service disability

benefit and payment data with SSA’s

records of Social Security disability

insurance (DI) benefits to identify DI

beneficiaries whose benefits should be

reduced under the Act because the

disabled worker is receiving a civil

service disability annuity benefit. SSA

will match the OPM data to verify

information provided (or identify such

information that should have been

provided) by the disabled worker at the

time of initially applying for Social

Security benefits and on a continuous

basis to ensure any reduction in Social

Security disability benefits is based on

the current civil service disability

benefit amount.

C. Authority for Conducting the

Matching Program

SSA Match 1021: Section

202(b)(4)(A), (c)(2)(A), (e)(7)(A),

(f)(2)(A), and (g)(u)(A) of the Social

Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402(b)(4)(A),

(c)(2)(A), (e)(7)(A), (f)(2)(A) and

(g)(4)(A)).

SSA Match 1020: Sections 215 (a)(7)

and 215 (d)(3) of the Social Security Act

((42 U.S.C. 415 (a)(7) and 415 (d)(3)).

SSA Match 1005: Section 1631

(e)(1)(B) and (f) of the Social Security

Act (42 U.S.C. 1383 (e)(1)(B) and (f)).

SSA Match 1019: Section 224 of the

Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 424).

D. Categories of Records and

Individuals Covered by the Match

OPM will provide SSA with an

electronic file extracted from OPM’s

Annuity and Survivor Masterfile. The

extracted file will contain information

about each new annuitant and

annuitants whose pension amount has

changed. Each record on the OPM file

will be matched to SSA’s Master

Beneficiary Record (MBR) or

Supplemental Security Income Record

(SSR) for the purposes described above

in Section B.

E. Inclusive Dates of the Match

The matching program shall become

effective upon the signing of the

agreement by both parties to the

agreement and approval of the

agreement by the Data Integrity Boards

of the respective agencies, but no sooner

than 40 days after notice of this

matching program is sent to Congress

and the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) or 30 days after

publication of this notice 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.
