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 establishing 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 Data Integrity Boards’
approval of the match agreements;
(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 23, 2005.

SSA Match 1005: OPM records will be
used in a matching program where SSA
will match OPM’s data with SSA’s
records to verify the accuracy of
information furnished by applicants and
recipients concerning eligibility factors
for the Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) and Special Veterans’ Benefits
(SVB) programs. The SSI program
provides payments to individuals who
have income and resources below levels
established by law and regulations, and
the SVB program provides special
benefits to certain World War II
veterans.
SSA Match 1019: SSA will match
OPM’s records of civil service disability
benefit and payment data with SSA’s
records of Social Security disability
insurance benefits to identify disability
insurance beneficiaries whose benefits
should be reduced under the Social
Security Act because the disabled
worker is receiving a civil service
disability annuity benefit. SSA will
match the OPM data to verify
information provided (or identify such
information that should have been
provided) by the disabled worker at the
time of initially applying for Social
Security benefits and on a continuous
basis to ensure any reduction in Social
Security disability benefits is based on
the current civil service disability
benefit amount.
SSA Match 1020: OPM records will be
used in a matching program where SSA
will match OPM’s civil service benefit
and payment data with SSA’s records
for disabled and retired annuitants.
These annuitants may be subject to the
use of a modified benefit computation
formula used by SSA under the Social
Security Act for certain persons who
receive both a civil service benefit and
a Social Security retirement or disability
benefit. SSA will use the OPM data to
verify the pension or annuity
information provided (or identify such
information that should have been
provided) directly to SSA by the
retirees/annuitants.
SSA Match 1021: SSA will match
OPM’s civil service benefit and payment
data with SSA’s records of beneficiaries
receiving Social Security spouse’s
benefits which are subject to reduction
under the Social Security Act when the
beneficiary is also receiving a
government pension based on
employment not covered under that Act.
SSA will match the OPM data to verify
information provided (or identify such
information that should have been
provided) by the SSA beneficiary at the
time of initially applying for Social
Security benefits and on a continuing
basis to ensure that any reduction in

Social Security benefits is based on the
current pension amount.

of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
1006) for the SVB program.
SSA Match 1019: Section 224 of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 424a).
SSA Match 1020: Sections 215(a)(7)

(42 U.S.C. 415(a)(7) and 415(d)(3)).
SSA Match 1021: Section

and (g)(4)(A) of the Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. 402(b)(4)(A), (c)(2)(A),
(e)(7)(A), (f)(2)(A) and (g)(4) (A)).
D. Categories of Records and
Individuals Covered by the Match
OPM will provide SSA with an
electronic file extracted from OPM’s
Annuity and Survivor Master File. The
extracted file will contain information
about each new annuitant and
annuitants whose pension amount has
changed. Each record on the OPM file
will be matched to SSA’s: (1) Master
Files of Social Security Number (SSN)
Holders and SSN Applications (SSA/
OEEAS, 60–0058; (2) Master Beneficiary
Record (SSA/OEEAS, 60–0090); or (3)
Supplemental Security Income and
Special Veterans’ Benefits Record (SSA/
OEEAS 60–0103) for the purposes
described above in Section B.
E. Inclusive Dates of the Match
The matching program shall become
effective upon the signing of the
agreement by both parties to the
agreement and approval of the
agreement by the Data Integrity Boards
of the respective agencies, but no sooner
than 40 days after notice of this
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 is later. The matching
program will continue for 18 months
