This agreement implements the additional validation processes needed by DoD to insure RC Service members eligible for the FEHB program may not enroll, or may not continue a current enrollment, in the TRS or the TRR health plan. D. Records To Be Matched: Systems of Records (SOR). DoD will use the SOR identified as DMDC 02 DoD, entitled ‘‘Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), November 21, 2012, 77 FR 69807.’’ The SSNs of RC Service members released to OPM pursuant to the routine use ‘‘20a’’ set forth in the system notice DMDC 02 DoD.
