SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Public Law 101–508, the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990,
provides VA the authority to verify
Veterans’ self-reported income to
determine eligibility for medical
benefits. VA’s Health Eligibility Center
(HEC) in Atlanta, Georgia, originally
established as the Income Verification
Match Center, has authority under
section 8051 to verify Veterans’ selfreported income with the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) and Social
Security Administration (SSA).
The system number is changed from
89VA16 to 89VA10NB to reflect the
current organizational alignment.
The System Location, Access, and
Safeguard sections have been amended
to change the Austin Automation Center
to what is now known as the Austin
Information Technology Center.
Routine use nineteen (19) has been
added to state that disclosures to other
Federal agencies may be made to assist
such agencies in preventing and
detecting possible fraud or abuse by
individuals in their operations and
programs.
The section titled ‘‘Storage’’ is being
amended to state that records are
maintained at a secure off-site facility in
Atlanta and Austin. In January 2013, VA
implemented a new electronic data
transmission process called Direct
Connect, which is a secure Virtual
Private Network (VPN) tunnel to
transmit and receive Veterans’
household income from IRS. VPN only
affects the means in which the data is
transmitted; it does not affect the storage
of the data.
‘‘Safeguard’’ is being amended under
number three (3) to include that the card
has restricted access capability, which
allows restriction of unauthorized
personnel to secured areas. HEC
Security Officer has been replaced with
