Notice of a Renewed Computer Matching Program, Social Security Administration (SSA) With the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). A. Participating Agencies SSA and DHS. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES B. Purpose of the Matching Program The purpose of this matching program is to establish conditions under which DHS agrees to the disclosure of information regarding certain aliens who may, as a result of their current or planned absences from the United States, be subject to nonpayment of benefits in programs administered by SSA. The disclosure will provide SSA with information useful in determining claim and benefit status under both title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act, governing Social Security Retirement, Survivors and Disability Insurance Benefits, and Supplemental Security Income, in that certain persons who are outside the United States, or similarly lack appropriate statutorily specified residency and citizenship/ alienage status, may not be paid benefits under specific statutory provisions of those titles. Public Law (Pub. L.) No. 108–203 (The Social Security Protection Act of 2004), section 412, expands section 202(n) of the Social Security Act to prohibit payment of retirement or disability benefits to number holders removed from the United States under section 237(a) or under section 212(a)(6)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (INA), as amended. C. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program Legal authority for the relevant disclosures of this matching operation is contained in sections 202(n) of the Social Security Act, as amended by section 412 of Pub. L. 108–203, 1611(f), and 1614(a)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402(n) 1382(f) and 1382c(a)(1) (the Act) and 8 U.S.C. 1611 VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:14 Jun 07, 2007 Jkt 211001 and 1612). Section 1631(e) (1) (B) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 1383(e) (1) (B) requires SSA to verify declarations of applicants for, and recipients of, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments before making a determination of eligibility or payment amount. Section 1631(f) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1383(f)) requires Federal agencies to provide SSA with information necessary to verify SSI eligibility or benefit amounts or to verify other information related to these determinations. In addition, section 202(n)(2) of the Act specifies that the ‘‘Attorney General or the Secretary of the [Department of Homeland Security]’’ notify the Commissioner of Social Security when certain individuals are removed under specified provisions of section 237(a) or under section 212(a)(6)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). D. Categories of Records and Individuals Covered by the Matching Agreement DHS will disclose to SSA two data files as described below: 1. Aliens Who Leave the United States Voluntarily DHS will provide SSA with an electronic file from its Computer Linked Application Information Management System (CLAIMS) (Justice/INS 013 system of records, most recently published at 62 FR 59734, dated 11/04/ 97, which is electronically formatted for transmission to SSA). CLAIMS contains information on resident aliens who are SSI recipients and who have left or plan to leave the United States for any period of 30 consecutive days. SSA will then match the DHS CLAIMS data with Social Security number (SSN) applicant and holder information, maintained in SSA’s Master Files of Social Security Number (SSN) Holders and SSN Applications, SSA/OEEAS 60–0058 (most recently published at 65 FR 66279, dated 11/03/2000); and SSA’s Supplemental Security Income Record (SSR) and Special Veterans Benefits (SVB) (most recently published at 66 FR 11079 SSA/OEEAS 60–0103, dated 02/ 21/2001). 2. Aliens Who Are Removed From the United States DHS will also provide SSA with an electronic file containing information on removed number holders from its Deportable Alien Control System (DACS) (Justice/INS–012, full text published at 65 FR 46738, dated 07/31/ 2000, modified at 66 FR 66712, dated 01/22/2001). Electronically formatted for transmission to SSA, DACS is scheduled to be replaced by the Enforce PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Removal Module (EREM). After such transition, EREM will be the system of records used in the match. SSA will then match the DHS EREM data with applicant and holder information maintained in SSA’s Master Files of Social Security Number (SSN) Holders and SSN Applications SSA/OEES 60– 0058, published at 65 FR 66279 (11/03/ 00), the Master Beneficiary Record SSA/ OEEAS 60–0090, most recently published at 66 FR 11080, dated 02/21/ 2001); and the Supplemental Security Record.

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. [FR Doc.
