SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Privacy Act of 1974 as amended (5 

U.S.C. 552a), provides for certain 

protections for individuals applying for 

and receiving Federal benefits. The law 

governs 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. The Privacy Act requires 

agencies involved in computer matching 

programs to: 

1. Negotiate written agreements with 

the other agency or agencies 

participating in the matching programs; 

2. Provide notification to applicants 

and beneficiaries that their records are 

subject to matching; 

3. Verify information produced by 

such matching program before reducing, 

making a final denial of, suspending, or 

terminating an individual’s benefits or 

payments; 

4. Publish notice of the computer 

matching program in the Federal 

Register; 

5. Furnish reports about the matching 

program to Congress and OMB; and 

6. Obtain the approval of the 

matching agreement by the Data 

Integrity Board of any Federal agency 

participating in a matching program. 

This matching program meets the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended, (5 U.S.C. 552a). 

Dated: June 19, 2009.

Enforcement. 

Notice of New Computer Matching 

Program 

A. Participating Agencies 

The participating agencies are OCSE, 

which is the ‘‘recipient agency,’’ and 

State Agencies administering the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP), which are the ‘‘source 

agencies.’’ 

B. Purpose of the Matching Program 

The purpose of the matching program 

is to provide new hire, quarterly wage 

(QW) and unemployment insurance (UI) 

information from OCSE’s National 

Directory of New Hires (NDNH) 

database to State Agencies 

administering the Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program for the 

purpose of determining the eligibility of 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

applicants and recipients. The State 

Agencies administering the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program may also use the NDNH 

information for the purpose of updating 

the recipients’ reported participation in 

work activities and updating recipients’ 

and their employers’ contact 

information maintained by the State 

Agencies administering the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program. 

C. Authority for Conducting the Match 

The authority for conducting the 

matching program is contained in 

section 453(j)(10) of the Social Security 

Act (42 U.S.C. § 653(j)(10)). 

D. Categories of Individuals Involved 

and Identification of Records Used in 

the Matching Program 

The categories of individuals involved 

in the matching program are adult 

members of households that receive or 

have applied for Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. 

The system of records maintained by 

OCSE from which records will be 

disclosed for the purpose of this 

matching program is the ‘‘Location and 

Collection System’’ (LCS), No. 09–90– 

0074, last published in the Federal 

Register at 72 FR 51446 on September 

7, 2007. The LCS contains the NDNH, 

which contains new hire, QW, and UI 

information. Disclosures of NDNH 

information to the State Agencies 

administering SNAP are a ‘‘routine use’’ 

under this system of records. Records 

resulting from the matching program 

and which are disclosed to State 

Agencies administering the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program include names, Social Security 

numbers, home addresses, and 

employment information. 

E. Inclusive Dates of the Matching 

Program 

The matching agreement will be 

effective and matching activity may 

commence the later of the following: 

(1) 30 days after this Notice is 

published in the Federal Register or (2) 

at least 40 days after OCSE sends a 

report of a matching program to the 

Congressional committees of 

jurisdiction under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(o)(2)(A); and to OMB, unless OMB 

disapproves the agreement within the 

40-day review period or grants a waiver 

of 10 days of the 40-day review period. 

The matching agreement will remain in 

effect for 18 months from its effective 

date, unless one of the parties to the 

agreement advises the other by written 

request to terminate or modify the 

agreement. The agreement is subject to 

renewal by the HHS Data Integrity 

Board for 12 additional months if the 

matching program will be conducted 

without any change and each party to 

the agreement certifies to the Board in 

writing that the program has been 

conducted in compliance with the 

agreement.
