SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. General 

The Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law 

(Pub. L.) 100–503), amended the Privacy 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the 

conditions under which computer 

matching involving federal agencies 

could be performed and adding certain 

protections for persons 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 persons. 

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 

other agencies participating in the 

matching programs; 

(2) Obtain approval of the matching 

agreement by the Data Integrity Boards 

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 a person’s benefits or 

payments. 

B. SSA Computer Matches Subject to 

the Privacy Act 

We have taken action to ensure that 

all our computer matching programs 

comply with the requirements of the 

Privacy Act, as amended. 

Dated: May 29, 2009. 

Mary Glenn-Croft, 

Deputy Commissioner for Budget, Finance 

and Management. 

Notice of Computer Matching Program, 

SSA With LEA 

A. Participating Agencies 

SSA and LEA. 

B. Purpose of the Matching Program 

The purpose of this agreement is to 

establish terms, conditions, and 

safeguards under which we will 

conduct a computer matching program 

with law enforcement agencies and 

source jurisdictions (LEA or Source 

Jurisdiction) in accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended by the 

Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (5 U.S.C. 552a), 

and the regulations and guidance 

promulgated thereunder, to identify 

individuals who are: (1) Fugitive felons, 

parole violators, or probation violators, 

as defined by the Social Security Act, 

from the Source Jurisdiction; and (2) 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

recipients, Retirement, Survivors and 

Disability Insurance (RSDI) 

beneficiaries, Special Veterans Benefit 

(SVB) beneficiaries, or representative 

payees for SSI recipients, RSDI 

beneficiaries, or SVB beneficiaries. 

C. Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program 

The legal authority for the matching 

program conducted under this 

agreement is Sections 1611(e)(4)(A), 

202(x)(l)(A)(iv) and (v) and 804(a)(2) 

and (3) of the Social Security Act (Act) 

(42 U.S.C. 1382(e)(4)(A), 402(x)(l)(A)(iv) 

and (v), and 1004(a)(2) and (3)), which 

prohibit the payment of SSI, RSDI and/ 

or SVB benefits to an SSI recipient, 

RSDI beneficiary, or SVB beneficiary for 

any month during which such 

individuals flee to avoid prosecution, or 

custody or confinement after conviction, 

under the applicable laws of the 

jurisdiction from which the person 

flees, for a crime or attempt to commit 

a crime considered to be a felony under 

the laws of said jurisdiction. Payment of 

SSI, RSDI, and/or SVB benefits to 

recipients/beneficiaries is also 

prohibited in jurisdictions that do not 

define such crimes as felonies, but as 

crimes punishable by death or 

imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 

year, (regardless of the actual sentence 

imposed) and to individuals who violate 

a condition of probation or parole 

imposed under Federal or State law. 

Sections 1631(a)(2)(B)(iii)(V), 

205(j)(2)(C)(i)(V), and 807(d)(1)(E) of the 

Act (42 U.S.C. 1383(a)(2)(B)(iii)(V), 

405(j)(2)(C)(i)(V), 1007(d)(1)(E)), which 

prohibit us from using a person as a 

representative payee when such person 

is a person described in Sections 

1611(e)(4)(A), 202(x)(1)(A)(iv), or 

804(a)(2) of the Act. 

The legal authority for our disclosure 

of information to the Source Jurisdiction 

is: Sections 1106(a), 1611(e)(5), 

1631(a)(2)(B)(xiv), 202(x)(3)(C), 

205(j)(2)(B)(iii) and 807(b)(3) of the Act; 

the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended by 

the Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (5 U.S.C. 

552a(b)(3)); and our disclosure 

regulations promulgated at 20 CFR 

401.150.

those who are fugitive felons, parole
