SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended by the Computer 

Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 

1988 and the Computer Matching 

Privacy Protection Amendment of 1990 

(Privacy Act), and Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) guidance on the 

conduct of matching programs, 

including OMB Final Guidance 

Interpreting the Provision of Public Law 

100–53 (published in the Federal 

Register on June 19,1989 (54 FR 25818) 

and OMB Circular A–108, notice is 

hereby given of a re-established 

matching program between the Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM) and the 

Social Security Administration (SSA). 

This matching program, Computer 

Matching Agreement 1045, is being 

reestablished to enable SSA to disclose 

wage and self-employment income 

information to OPM. OPM will match 

SSA’s information with OPM’s records 

on disability retirees under age 60, 

disabled adult child survivors, certain 

retirees in receipt of a supplemental 

benefit under the Federal Employees 

Retirement System (FERS), and certain 

annuitants receiving a discontinued 

service retirement benefit under the 

Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). 

The law limits the amount these 

retirees, survivors, and annuitants can 

earn while retaining benefits paid to 

them. Retirement benefits cease upon 

re-employment in Federal service for 

discontinued service annuitants. OPM 

will use the earnings and selfemployment information from SSA to 

determine continued eligibility for 

benefits under OPM programs. 

Participating Agencies: OPM and 

SSA. 

Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program: Legal authorities for 

the disclosures under this agreement are 

5 U.S.C. 8337(d), 8341(a)(4)(B), 

8344(a)(4)(b), and 8468, which establish 

earnings limitations for certain CSRS 

and FERS annuitants. The authority to 

terminate benefits may be found in 5 

U.S.C. 8341(e)(3)(B) and 8443(b)(3)(B). 

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 

U.S.C. 6103 (l)(11), requires SSA to 

disclose tax return information to OPM 

upon request for purposes of the 

administration of chapters 83 and 84 of 

Title 5 of the United States Code. 

Purpose: The purpose of this 

agreement between OPM and SSA is to 

assist OPM in meeting its legal 

obligation to offset benefits payable by 

OPM to annuitants. SSA will disclose 

income and tax return information to 

OPM. OPM will use the information 

obtained from SSA to match against 

OPM’s records of disability retirees 

under age 60, disabled adult-child 

survivors, certain retirees receiving 

supplemental benefit under the Federal 

Employees Retirement Systems (FERS), 

and certain annuitants receiving a 

discontinued service retirement benefit 

under the Civil Service Retirement 

System (CSRS). Because the law limits 

the amount these individuals can earn 

and still retain the benefits paid to them 

by OPM, OPM will use the SSA 

information to determine and 

individual’s continued eligibility to 

receive a benefit from OPM. 

Categories Individuals: The 

individuals whose information is 

involved in this matching program are 

those disability retirees under the age of 

60, disabled adult-child survivors, 

certain retirees in receipt of a 

supplemental benefit under the FERS, 

and certain annuitants receiving a 

discontinued service retirement benefit 

under the CSRS who receive benefits 

from OPM. SSA will provide 

information about these individuals by 

referencing their master file of all 

individuals with Social Security 

numbers (SSN) and their file of earnings 

and self-employment records. 

Categories of Records: The categories 

of records involved in this matching 

program include the full name, SSN, 

date of birth, and the tax year for 

requested earnings for those individuals 

about who the match is being 

conducted. In turn, SSA will disclose 

the following records to OPM: employer 

identification number, name, address, 

wage amount from Form W–2, and 

earnings amounts form self-employment 

income. 

System(s) of Records: OPM’s system 

of records involved in this matching 

program is OPM/Central-1, Civil Service 

Retirement and Insurance Records. 64 

FR 54930 (Oct. 8, 1999), as amended at 

73 FR 15013 (March 20, 2008). SSA’s 

systems of records involved in this 

matching program are the Master Files 

of Social Security Number Holders and 

SSN Applications, 60–0058, 75 FR 

82121 (Dec. 29, 2010) as amended at 78 

FR 40542 (July 5, 2013), 79 FR 8780 

(Feb. 13, 2014), and 83 FR 31250 (July 

3, 2018); and the Master Beneficiary 

Record (MBR), 60–0090, 71 FR 1826
