AGENCY:
ACTION:
This document provides
notice of the continuation of the
computer matching program between
the Departments of Education (ED) and
Defense (DoD). The continuation is
effective on the date described in
paragraph 5 of this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
473(b) of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (HEA) (20 U.S.C.
1087mm(b)), requires the Secretary of
Defense to provide the Secretary of
Education with information to identify
children whose parent or guardian was
a member of the Armed Forces of the
United States and died as a result of
performing military service in Iraq or
Afghanistan after September 11, 2001.
Beginning with the 2009–2010 Award
Year, these children (referred to as
qualifying students) may be eligible for
a greater amount of title IV, HEA
program assistance. A qualifying
student must have been age 24 or
younger at the time of the parent or
guardian’s death, or, if older than 24,
enrolled part-time or full-time in an
institution of higher education at the
time of the parent or guardian’s death.
Beginning July 1, 2010, students who
are otherwise qualified children of
deceased U.S. military who meet the
requirements of section 420R of the
HEA (20 U.S.C. 1070h) may also be
eligible for higher amounts of title IV,
HEA program assistance.
To ensure that eligible students
receive the maximum allowable amount
of title IV, HEA program assistance, DoD
and ED created a computer matching
program.
The purpose of this notice is to
announce the continuation of the
computer matching program, and to
provide certain required information
concerning the computer matching
program.
We provide this notice in accordance
with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C.
552a), as amended and the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Guidance Interpreting the Computer
Matching and Privacy Protection Act of
1988 (54 FR 25818, June 19, 1989), and
OMB Circular A–130, the Department of
Education (ED) is transmitting, in
duplicate the following: (1) A copy of a
computer matching agreement (CMA)
between ED and the Department of
Defense (DoD); and (2) a copy of the
Federal Register notice announcing, for

computer matching program.
5. Effective Dates of the Matching
Program
1. Names of Participating Agencies
The purpose of this matching program
is to ensure that the requirements of
sections 420R and 473(b) of the HEA (20
U.S.C. 1070h and 20 U.S.C. 1087mm(b))
are fulfilled.
DoD (source agency) is the lead
contact agency for information related to
benefits for military service dependents
and, as such, provides these data to ED.
ED (recipient agency) seeks access to the
information contained in the DoD
Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC)
system and the Defense Enrollment
Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS).
The matching program will be
effective on the last of the following
dates: (1) February 2, 2015; (2) 30 days
after notice of the matching program has
been published in the Federal Register;
or (3) 40 days after a report concerning
the matching program has been
transmitted to OMB and transmitted to
the Congress along with a copy of this
agreement, unless OMB waives 10 days
of this 40-day period for compelling
reasons shown, in which case, 30 days
after transmission of the report to OMB
and Congress.
The matching program will continue
for 18 months after the effective date of
the computer matching agreement and
may be extended for an additional 12
months thereafter, if the conditions
specified in 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(D) have
been met.

2. Purpose of the Match
Under sections 420R and 473(b) of the
HEA (20 U.S.C. 1070h and 20 U.S.C.
1087mm(b)), ED must identify the
children of military personnel who have
died as a result of their military service
in Iraq or Afghanistan after September
11, 2001, to determine if the child is
eligible for increased amounts of title
IV, HEA program assistance.
DoD and ED have determined that
using DoD data provided to ED for
matching against ED’s Federal Student
Aid Application File (18–11–01) is the
only practical method that the agencies
can use to meet the statutory
requirements of the HEA.

4. Categories of Records and
Individuals Covered by the Match
DoD will submit for verification
records from its DMDC and DEERS data
bases to ED’s Central Processing System
files (Federal Student Aid Application
File (18–11–01)), the Social Security
number (SSN) and other identifying
information for each qualifying
dependent record. ED will use the SSN,
date of birth, and the first two letters of
an applicant’s last name to match with

The DoD DMDC and DEERS systems
contain the names, SSNs, dates of birth,
and other identifying information about

died as a result of performing their
military service in Iraq or Afghanistan
after September 11, 2001. This system of
