SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 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. 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 Data Integrity Boards’

approval of the match agreements;

(3) Furnish detailed reports about

matching programs to Congress and the

Office of Management and Budget;

(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

these computer matching programs

comply with the requirements of the

Privacy Act, as amended.

B. Purpose of the Matching Program

Section 202(x)(1) of the Social

Act provides, with some exceptions,

that inmates in public institutions are

not eligible for payments under the

Supplemental Security Income program.

The purpose of these matching

programs is to assist SSA in enforcing

these provisions.

Matching Program

Systems will submit names and other

identifying information of prisoners

from Prisoner Data Systems. The SSA

Applications contains the SSNs and

identifying information for all SSN

holders. The SSA Master Beneficiary

Record and Supplemental Security

Income Record contain beneficiary and

E. Inclusive Dates of the Match

These matching programs shall

become effective 40 days after a copy of

the model agreement, as approved by

the responsible Data Integrity Board, is

sent to Congress and the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) (or later

if OMB objects to some or all of the

agreement), or 30 days after publication

of this notice in the Federal Register, or

after both parties to each individual

agreement have signed the agreement,
