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 describing 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. 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 

matching agreement by the Data 

Integrity Boards (DIB) of the 

participating Federal agencies; 

(3) Publish notice of the computer 

matching program in the Federal 

Register; 

(4) Furnish detailed reports about 

matching programs to Congress and 

OMB; 

(5) Notify applicants and beneficiaries 

that their records are subject to 

matching; and 

(6) 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: August 27, 2008. 

Mary Glenn-Croft, 

Deputy Commissioner for Budget, Finance 

and Management. 

Notice of Computer Matching Program, 

Social Security Administration (SSA) With 

the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 

(CMS) 

A. PARTICIPATING AGENCIES

SSA and CMS. 

B. PURPOSE OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM

The purpose of this agreement is to 

establish the conditions, terms and 

safeguards under which CMS agrees to 

the ongoing disclosure of certain skilled 

nursing facility admission data by CMS 

to SSA. CMS will disclose the data 

through a computer matching operation 

for SSA’s use in identifying 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

recipients who did not report their 

admission to a facility as required under 

applicable provisions of the Social 

Security Act (the Act). Such admission 

would subject the amount of SSI which 

an individual could receive for any 

month throughout which the individual 

is in such a facility to a reduced benefit 

rate. The SSI program provides 

payments to aged, blind and disabled 

recipients with income and resources 

below levels established by law and 

regulations. 

SSA will use other benefit 

information for the Title VIII, Special 

Veterans’ Benefits (SVB) determinations 

of entitlement and benefit amount. 

Other benefit information is defined as 

any recurring payment received as an 

annuity, pension, retirement or 

disability benefit. The match will be 

used to identify those SVB beneficiaries 

who are no longer residing outside the 

United States. 

C. AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING THE MATCHING

PROGRAM

This Matching Agreement between 

SSA and CMS is executed pursuant to 

the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), 

as amended (Pub. L. 100–503, the 

Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act (CMPPA) of 1988), the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Circular A–130, titled 

‘‘Management of Federal Information 

Resources’’ at 61 FR 6428–6435 

(February 20, 1996), and OMB 

guidelines pertaining to computer 

matching at 54 FR 25818 (June 19, 

1989). 

Legal authority for the SSI portion of 

the matching program described above 

is contained in sections 1611(e)(1)(A) 

and (B) and 1631(f) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 

1382(e)(1)(A) and (B) and 1383(f)); see 

also 20 CFR 416.211. 

Legal authority for the SVB portion of 

the matching program is contained in 

sections 801 and 806(a) and (b) of the 

Act (42 U.S.C. 1001 and 1006(a) and 

(b)). 

D. CATEGORIES OF RECORDS AND INDIVIDUALS

COVERED BY THE MATCHING PROGRAM

SSA will provide CMS with a finder 

file on a monthly basis extracted from 

SSA’s Supplemental Security Income 

Record and Special Veterans Benefits 

(SSR/SVB), SSA/ODSSIS 60–0103, with 

identifying information with respect to 

recipients of SSI benefits. CMS will 

match the SSA finder file against the 

system of records for individuals on the 

Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 17, 2008 / Notices 53923 

(LTC/MDS 09–70–1517), and submit 

their reply file to SSA no later than 21 

days after receipt of the SSA finder file. 

The Title VIII benefit information is 

included in the SSI system of records 

and is paid using SSA’s SSI automated 

system. The indicator identifying Title 

VIII claims resides on the SSR, SSA/ 

ODSSIS 60–0103, though it is not an SSI 

payment. Routine Use Number 19, 

effective January 11, 2006, allows 

disclosure to Federal, State or local 

agencies for administering cash or noncash income maintenance or health 

maintenance programs. 

The Finder File that SSA will furnish 

to CMS will contain approximately 61⁄2

million records of recipients of SSI and 

SVB. CMS’s Reply File will contain the 

matched records. Each matched record 

will include a certain number of 

relevant MDS CMS appended records. 

CMS will provide SSA with the 

Provider of Service Information on the 

facilities involved in the match (e.g., 

provider name, address, telephone 

number, date of admission, date of 

discharge, projected length of stay, and 

payment source). The number of records 

for individuals returned to SSA will 

approximate 25,000 monthly. 

SSA will provide the Finder File to 

CMS as often as monthly. CMS will 

submit its Reply File to SSA no later 

than 21 days after receipt of the SSA 

Finder File. 

This matching program employs 

systems which contain Protected Health 

Information (PHI) as defined by HHS 

regulation ‘‘Standards for Privacy of 

Individually Identifiable Health 

Information’’ (45 CFR 160 and 164, 

Subparts A and E) (65 FR 82462 (Dec. 

28, 2000)). Disclosures of PHI 

authorized by these routine uses may 

only be made if, and as permitted, or 

required by the ‘‘Standard for Privacy of 

Individually Identifiable Health 

Information’’. 

E. INCLUSIVE DATES OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM

The matching program will become 

effective no sooner than 40 days after 

notice of the matching program is sent 

to Congress and the Office of 

Management and Budget, or 30 days 

after publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, whichever date 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.
