CIS system of records entitled 

‘‘Verification Information System, 

Justice/INS 035,’’ last published in the 

Federal Register on October 17, 2002. 

This system of records is used to 

provide immigration status information 

to Federal, State, and local government 

agencies for immigrants and naturalized 

U.S. citizens applying for public 

benefits. By accessing the USCIS 

database, these state agencies may 

obtain an alien registration number for 

the potential applicant or beneficiary for 

public benefits. Where the alien 

registration number is located, the state 

agency will receive electronically from 

the USCIS database the following data 

upon which to determine eligibility: 

The alien registration number, last 

name, first name, date of birth, country 

of birth, social security number (if 

available), date of entry, immigration 

status data, and employment eligibility 

data. If the state agency determines that 

an alien is not entitled to public 

benefits, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

552a(p), the state agency will provide 

the alien applicant with 30 days notice 

and an opportunity to contest any 

adverse finding before final action is 

taken against that alien because of 

ineligibility as established through the 

computer match. 

DHS has approved agreements to 

permit these computer matching 

programs for an 18-month period. The 

matching program may be extended for 

an additional 12 months thereafter, if 

certain conditions are met. Matching 

activities under the new agreements will 

be effective 30 days after publication of 

this computer matching notice in the 

Federal Register, or 40 days after a 

report concerning the computer 

matching programs has been transmitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) and transmitted to Congress with 

a copy of the agreements, whichever is 

later. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C 552a(o)(A) 

and (r), the required report has been 

provided to the Office of Management 

and Budget, and to the Congress 

together with a copy of the agreements.
