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
manner in which computer matching
involving Federal agencies could be
performed and adding certain
protections for individuals 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
individuals. The Privacy Act, as
amended, regulates the use of computer
matching by Federal agencies when
records in a system of records are
matched with other Federal, state, or
local government records. It requires
Federal agencies involved in computer
matching programs to:
1. Negotiate written agreements with
the other agencies participating in the
matching programs;
2. Obtain the Data Integrity Board
approval of the match agreements;
3. Furnish detailed reports about
matching programs to Congress and
OMB;
4. Notify applicants and beneficiaries
that the records are subject to matching;
and,
5. Verify match findings before
reducing, suspending, terminating, or
