Amended Matching Program

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given that the

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

intends to conduct a recurring computer

matching program matching Social

Security Administration (SSA) records

with VA pension and parents’

dependency and indemnity

compensation (DIC) records.

The goal of this match is to compare

income status as reported to VA with

records maintained by SSA.

The Department of Veterans Affairs

plans to match records of veterans and

surviving spouses and children who

receive pension, and parents who

receive DIC, with the Master Beneficiary

Record (MBR) and Master Earnings File

(MEF) maintained by SSA.

VA will use this information to

update the master records of VA

beneficiaries receiving income

dependent benefits and to adjust VA

benefit payments as prescribed by law.

The proposed matching program will

enable VA to ensure accurate reporting

of income.
