Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 207 / Tuesday, October 27, 2015 / Notices (2) (G), 1710(a) (3), and 1710(b) identify those veterans whose basic eligibility for medical care benefits is dependent upon their financial status. Eligibility for nonservice-connected and zero percent noncompensable service-connected veterans is determined based on the veteran’s inability to defray the expenses for necessary care as defined in 38 U.S.C. 1722. This determination can affect their responsibility to participate in the cost of their care through copayments and their assignment to an enrollment priority group. The goal of this match is to obtain SSA earned income information data needed for the income verification process. The VA records involved in the match are ‘‘Enrollment and Eligibility Records—VA’’ (147VA16). The SSA records are from the Earnings Recording and Self-Employment Income System, SSA/OEEAS 60–0059 and Master Files of Social Security Number Holders and SSN Applications, SSA/OEEAS, 60– 0058, (referred to as ‘‘the Numident’’). A copy of this notice has been sent to both Houses of Congress and OMB. This matching agreement expires 18 months after its effective date. This match will not continue past the legislative authorized date to obtain this information. Signing Authority: The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or designee, approved this document and authorized the undersigned to sign and submit the document to the Office of the Federal Register for publication electronically as an official document of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Robert L. Nabors II, Chief of Staff, approved this document on October 8, 2015, for publication. Dated October 13, 2015. Kathleen M.
