A. General

    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended, establishes 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. Among other 
things, it requires Federal agencies involved in computer matching 
programs to:
    (1) Negotiate written agreements with the other agency for agencies 
participating in the matching programs;
    (2) Obtain the approval of the match agreement by the Data 
Integrity Boards (DIB) of the participating Federal agencies;
    (3) Furnish detailed reports about matching programs to Congress 
and OMB;
    (4) Notify applicants and beneficiaries that their records are 
subject to matching;
    (5) Verify match findings before reducing, suspending, termination 
or denying an individual's benefits or payments.

B. OPM Computer Matches Subject to the Privacy Act

B. Purpose of the Matching Program
    The purpose of this agreement is to establish the conditions under 
which SSA agrees to disclose tax return and/or Social Security benefit

recomputing the benefits of certain annuitants and survivors whose 
computations are based, in part, on military service performed after 
December 1956 under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and 
certain annuitants and survivors whose annuity computation under the 
Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) have a CSRS component.
C. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program
    Chapters 83 and 84 of title 5 of the United States Code provide the 
basis for computing annuities under CSRS and FERS, respectively, and 
require release of information by SSA to OPM in order to administer 
data exchanges involving military service performed by an individual 
after December 31, 1956. The CSRS requirement is codified at section 
8332(j) of title 5 of the United States Code; the FERS requirement is 
codified at section 8422(e)(4) of title 5 of the United States Code.

extracted military wage information from SSA's ``1086'' microfilm file 
when required (71 FR 1796, January 11, 2006). OPM will provide SSA with 
an electronic finder file from the OPM system of records published as 
OPM/Central-1 (Civil Service Retirement and Insurance Records) on 
October 8, 1999 (64 FR 54930), as amended on May 3, 2000 (65 FR 25775). 
The system of records involved have routine uses permitting the 
disclosures needed to conduct this match.
E. Privacy Safeguards and Security
    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(G)) requires that each 
matching agreement specify procedures for ensuring the administrative, 
technical and physical security of the records matched and the results 
of such programs.
    All Federal agencies are subject to: The Federal Information
