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 manner in
which computer matching involving
Federal agencies could be performed
and adding certain protections for
individuals applying for, and receiving,
Federal benefits. Section 7201 of the

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;
