Privacy Act of 1974; Computer
Matching Program

Center, Defense Logistics Agency, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of a computer matching
program.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Subsection (e)(12) of the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a), requires agencies to
publish advanced notices of any
proposed or revised computer matching
program by the matching agency for
public comment. The Department of
Defense (DoD), Defense Manpower Data
Center (DMDC), as the matching agency
under the Privacy Act, is hereby giving
notice to the record subjects of a
computer matching program between
Department of Veterans Affairs, Office
of Inspector General (VA OIG) and the
Department of Defense (DoD) that their
records are being matched by computer.
The purpose of the computer matching
program is to attempt to verify eligibility
for VA Compensation and Pension
(C&P) benefits by matching veteran’s
record of those benefits with the
military service record of veterans
eligible for those benefits for themselves
or their beneficiaries.

Sfmt 4703
This proposed action will
become effective August 8, 2007 and
matching may commence unless
changes to the matching program are
required due to public comments or by
Congressional or by Office of
Management and Budget concerns. Any
public comment must be received before
the effective date.
ADDRESSES: Any interested party may
submit written comments to the
Director, Defense Privacy Office, 1901
South Bell Street, Suite 920, Arlington,
VA 22202–4512.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Janice Thornton at (703) 607–2943.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to subsection (o) of the Privacy Act of
1974, as amended, (5 U.S.C. 552a), the
VA OIG and DMDC have concluded an
agreement to conduct a computer
matching program between agencies.
The purpose of the computer matching
program is to attempt to verify eligibility
for VA C&P benefits by matching
veteran’s record of those benefits with
the military service record of veterans
eligible for those benefits for themselves
or their beneficiaries.
The parties to this agreement have
determined that a computer matching
program is the most efficient,
expeditious, and effective means of
obtaining and processing the
information needed by VA OIG to verify
the military service record of veterans
eligible for VA (C&P) benefits, to
identify potential fraudulent payments
to fictitious veterans, and to identify
payments that should be adjusted where
the beneficiary is not entitled to all or
part of the VA C&P benefits received.
The principal alternative to using a
computer matching program for
identifying such individuals would be
to conduct a manual comparison of all
veterans or their beneficiaries receiving
VA (C&P) benefits with the other files.
Conducting a manual match, however,
would clearly impose a considerable
administrative burden, constitute a
greater intrusion on the individual’s
privacy, and would result in additional
delay in the eventual response to
possible fraud and abuse. By comparing
the information received through the
computer matching program between
VA OIG and DMDC on a recurring basis,
information on successful matches (hits)
can be provided to VA to initiate
research on these discrepancies, thus
assuring that benefit payments are
proper.
A copy of the computer matching
agreement between VA OIG and DoD is
available upon request. Requests should
be submitted to the address caption
above or to the Department of Veterans
