    The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Public 
Law (Pub.L.) 100-503), amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by 
describing the conditions under which computer matching involving the

for persons 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 persons.
    The Privacy Act, as amended, regulates the use of computer matching

Integrity Boards (DIB) of the participating Federal agencies;

C. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program

    The legal authority for disclosures under this Agreement are the 
Social Security Act (Act) and the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. 
Section 453(j)(4) of the Act provides that OCSE shall provide the 
Commissioner of Social Security with all information in the NDNH. 42 
U.S.C. 653(j)(4). We have the authority to use this data to determine 
entitlement and eligibility for the programs we administer pursuant to 
sections 453(j)(4), 1631(e)(1)(B) and (f), and 1148 of the Act. 42 
U.S.C. 653(j)(4), 1320b-19(d)(1), and 1383(e)(1)(B) and (f). 
Disclosures under this Agreement are made in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b)(3), and in compliance with the matching procedures in 5 U.S.C. 
552a(o), (p), and (r).
    The Commissioner of Social Security is required to verify a 
recipient's or applicant's eligibility for SSI using independent or 
collateral sources. We cannot determine an applicant's eligibility for 
SSI benefits solely on the applicant's declaration concerning 
eligibility factors or other relevant facts. We also obtain information 
to ensure that we provide SSI benefits only to eligible individuals (or 
eligible spouses) and that we are paying the correct amounts of such 
benefits. Section 1631(e)(1)(B) of the Act.
    Subsection 1631(f) of the Act provides that ``The head of any 
federal agency shall provide such information as the Commissioner of 
Social Security needs for purposes of determining eligibility for or 
amount of benefits, or verifying information with respect thereto.''
    To comply with section 1148 of the Act, we must verify earnings of 
beneficiaries/recipients to ensure accurate payments to employer 
network providers under the Ticket-to-Work program.

D. Categories of Records and Persons Covered by the Matching Program

    Our Systems of Records (SOR) covered by this program are the SSI 
Record and Special Veterans Benefits (SSR), SSA/OEEAS, 60-0103 notice 
last published on January 11, 2006 (71 Federal Register (FR) 1830); and 
the Completed Determination Record-Continuing Disability Determination 
file (CDR-CDD), SSA/OD 60-0050 notice last published January 11, 2006 
(72 FR 1813).
    OCSE will match our information in the SSR and CDR-CDD against the 
NDNH. The NDNH contains new hire, QW, and UI information furnished by 
state and federal agencies and is maintained by OCSE in its SOR ``OCSE 
National Directory of New Hires'' (NDNH), No. 09-80-0381, published in 
the FR on January 5, 2011, at 76 FR 560. Routine use (9) of the system 
of records authorizes disclosure of NDNH information to us, 76 FR 560, 
562 (January 5, 2011).
    Until January 31, 2013, through the Master File Query Menu (MFQM), 
we will use online queries to read records in the NDNH database. To 
limit disclosure and to prohibit browsing, our access is restricted by 
anti-browsing technology to only those Social Security numbers (SSN) 
that have a direct business relationship with SSI, DI, or Ticket 
programs (i.e., the record must have a valid SSI, DI, or Ticket payment 
or application issue). If no business relationship exists with us, OCSE 
denies access to NDNH and the user is unable to proceed. If a business 
relationship exists with us, we can access the NDNH to display an SSN-
specific new hire, QW, or UI report in the NDNH. The MFQM extracts 
information from our SSR (for SSI recipients) or CDR-CDD (for ticket 
holders and disability beneficiaries) to facilitate query access. After 
January 31, 2013, we will invoke the OCSE web service to perform online 
lookups.

E. Inclusive Dates of the Matching Program

    The effective date of this matching program is no sooner than April 
20, 2012, provided that the following notice periods have lapsed: 30 
days after publication of this notice in the FR and 40 days after

and, if both agencies meet certain conditions, it may extend for an 
additional 12 months thereafter.
