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 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 approval of the
matching agreement by the Data
Integrity Boards (DIB) of the
participating Federal agencies;
(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.

Notice of Computer Matching Program,
Social Security Administration (SSA)
With the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM)
A. Participating Agencies
SSA and OPM.
B. Purpose of the Matching Program
The purpose of this agreement is to
establish the conditions, terms and
safeguards under which OPM agrees to
the disclosure of civil service benefit
and payment data to SSA. The old-age,
survivors, disability insurance (OASDI),
supplemental security income (SSI), and
special veterans’ benefits (SVB)
programs administered by SSA will use
the match results under this agreement.
The OASDI programs are social
insurance programs. The SSI program
pays benefits to aged, blind and
disabled recipients with incomes below
levels established by law and
regulations. The SVB program provides
special benefits to certain World War II
veterans. The results of the matching
operations are used to determine SSI
eligibility and to determine beneficiaries
whose benefits should be reduced due
to the Public Disability Benefit offset
provision, the Windfall Elimination
Provision, and the Government Pension
Offset provision.

C. Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program
The legal authority for SSA to
conduct this matching activity for SSI
purposes is contained in section
1631(e)(1)(B) and (f) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1383(e)(1)(B)
and (f)) and for the SVB program as
authorized by section 806 of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1006). Section
224 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C.
424a, provides for the reduction of
Social Security disability benefits when
the disabled worker is also entitled to a
Public Disability Benefit. Sections
215(a)(7) and 215(d)(3) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 415(a)(7) and
415(d)(3)) provide for a modified benefit
computation to be used for certain
beneficiaries who are concurrently
entitled to both Social Security benefits
and a monthly periodic payment based
in whole or in part on employment not
covered by Social Security, including a
civil service benefit. This modified
benefit computation is called the
Windfall Elimination Provision. Section
202(k)(5)(A) of the Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. 402(k)(5)(A)) requires that
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
SSA reduce the Social Security benefits
of certain beneficiaries entitled to Social
Security spouse’s benefits who are also
entitled to a government pension based
on their own noncovered earnings. This
reduction is referred to as Government
Pension Offset.
D. Categories of Records and
Individuals Covered by the Matching
Program
Monthly, OPM will provide SSA with
an electronic file containing civil
service benefit and payment data from
the annuity and survivor master file.
The Federal Register designation for the
OPM file is OPM/Central-1 Civil Service
Retirement and Insurance Records.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3), OPM
has established routine uses to disclose
the subject information to SSA.
Each record on the OPM file will be
matched for Social Security Number
(SSN) verification to SSA’s Master Files
of SSN Holders and SSN Applications.
The Federal Register designation for the
SSA file is Master Files of SSN Holders
and SSN Applications, SSA/OSR, 60–
0058. Those records verified will then
be matched to SSA’s SSI and SVB
payment information maintained in the
SSR and SVB. The Federal Register
designation for the SSA file is SSR and
SVB, SSA/OSR, 60–0103.
The file will also contain information
about each new disability annuitant and
annuitants whose disability benefits
have changed from previous reports.
The Federal Register designation for the
OPM file is also OPM/Central-1 Civil
Service Retirement and Insurance
Records. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3),
OPM has established routine uses to
disclose the subject information to SSA.
Each record on the OPM file will be
matched for Social Security Number
(SSN) verification to SSA’s Master Files
of SSN Holders and SSN Applications.
The Federal Register designation for the
SSA file is Master Files of SSN Holders
and SSN Applications, SSA/OSR, 60–
0058. Those records verified will then
be matched to DI records on the MBR
to identify DI beneficiaries who may be
subject to PDB offset. Those records
verified will also be matched to SSA’s
MBR for WEP and GPO purposes. The
Federal Register designation for the
SSA file is MBR, SSA/OSR, 60–0090.
This monthly file contains
approximately 25,000 records. OPM will
provide SSA with the entire master
annuity file of approximately 2.7
million records once yearly for the
month of the civil service cost-of-living
allowance.
