Participating Agencies: SSA and IRS.
Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program: The legal authority
for Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section
6103(1)(7) authorizes IRS to disclose
return information with respect to
unearned income to Federal, state, and
local agencies administering certain
benefit programs under the Act. Section
1860D–14 of the Act requires the
Commissioner of Social Security to
determine the eligibility of applicants
for the prescription drug subsidy who
self-certify their income, resources, and
family size. Pursuant to section 1860D–
14(a)(3) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w–
114(a)(3)), SSA must determine whether
a Social Security Part D eligible
individual is a subsidy-eligible
individual, and whether the individual
is an individual as described in section
1860D–14(a) of the Act.
Purpose(s): The purpose of this
matching program is to sets forth the
terms, conditions, and safeguards under
which IRS will disclose to us certain
return information for the purpose of
verifying eligibility for the Prescription
Drug Subsidy Program (Subsidy) and or
determining the correct subsidy
percentage of benefits provided under
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
section 1860D–14 of the Act. (42 U.S.C.
1395w–114). This matching agreement
between IRS and us is executed under
the Privacy Act of 1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a),
as amended by the Computer Matching
and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, and
the regulations and guidance
promulgated thereunder.
Categories of Individuals: The
individuals whose information is
involved in this matching program are
beneficiaries who apply for Medicare
prescription drug subsidy under section
1860D–14 of the Act. They will self–
certificate on the application form the
applicant’s income, resources, and
family size. We will verify each
applicant’s self-certification information
before making a subsidy determination.
When Medicare beneficiaries apply for
the subsidy, and we cannot otherwise
verify the income information provided
on an application, SSA discloses to IRS
the applicant’s name and Social
Security number.
Categories of Records: When
beneficiaries apply for the Medicare
prescription drug subsidy under section
1860D–14 of the Act, they must selfcertify on the application form the
applicant’s income, resources, and
family size. Once each year, we
electronically transmit the identifying
information of each current subsidy
recipient to IRS.
When there is a match of individual
identifier, IRS discloses to us:
a. Payee Account Number,
b. Payee Name and Mailing Address,
c. Payee Taxpayer Identification
Number (TIN),
d. Payer Name and Address,
e. Payer TIN, and
f. Income Type and Amount.
System(s) of Records: We will provide
IRS with identifying information with
respect to applicants for, and recipients
of, the prescription drug subsidy from
the existing Medicare Database (MDB
File) system of records, 60–0321
published at 71 FR 42159 (July 25,
2006). Unearned income information
provided by IRS is maintained in the
MDB File. IRS extracts return
information with respect to unearned
income from the IRMF, Treasury/IRS
22.061, as published at 77 FR 47946
(August 10, 2012).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 conditions under which computer matching
involving the Federal government could be performed and adding certain
protections for persons 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
persons.
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 agency or agencies
participating in the matching programs;
[[Page 49693]]
(2) Obtain approval of the matching agreement by the Data Integrity
Boards of the participating Federal agencies;
(3) Publish notice of the computer matching program in the Federal
Register;
(4) Furnish detailed reports about matching programs to Congress
and OMB;
(5) Notify applicants and beneficiaries that their records are
subject to matching; and
(6) Verify match findings before reducing, suspending, terminating,
or denying a person's benefits or payments.
We have taken action to ensure that all of our computer matching
programs comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act, as amended.
Mary Ann Zimmerman,
Acting Executive Director, Office of Privacy and Disclosure, Office of
the General Counsel.
Participating Agencies: SSA and OCSE.
Authority for Conducting the Matching Program: The legal
authorities for disclosures under this agreement are the Social
Security Act (Act) and the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. Subsection

authority to use data to determine entitlement to and eligibility for
programs it administers pursuant to sections 453(j)(4), 1631(e)(1)(B)
and(f), and 1860D-14(a)(3) of the Act. 42 U.S.C. 653(j)(4),

agreement shall be made in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3), and in
compliance with the matching procedures in 5 U.S.C. 552a(o), (p), and
(r).

SSA has independent authority to collect this information regarding
Medicare Parts A-D via sections 202-205, 223, 226, 228, 1611, 1631,
1818, 1836, 1839, 1840, and 1860D-1 to 1860D-15 of the Act (42 U.S.C.

Purpose(s): This computer matching agreement, hereinafter
``agreement,'' governs a matching program between the Office of Child
Support Enforcement (OCSE) and the Social Security Administration
(SSA). The agreement covers information exchange operations between
OCSE and SSA that will provide SSA with quarterly wage and unemployment
insurance information located in the National Directory of New Hires
(NDNH) to allow SSA to determine eligibility of applicants for Extra
Help (low-income subsidy assistance) under the Medicare Prescription
Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-173)
(Extra Help). This agreement also governs the use, treatment, and
safeguarding of the information exchanged. OCSE is the ``source
agency'' and SSA is the ``recipient agency,'' as defined by the Privacy
Act. 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(9) and (11).
This agreement assists SSA in (1) determining eligibility of
applicants for Extra Help; (2) redetermining eligibility of existing
Extra Help beneficiaries during periodic screening; and (3)
administering the Extra Help program.
The Privacy Act provides that no record contained in a system of
record (SOR) may be disclosed for use in a computer matching program
except pursuant to a written agreement containing specified provisions.
5 U.S.C. 552a(o). SSA and OCSE are executing this agreement to comply
with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and
guidance promulgated thereunder. OCSE and SSA have been parties to
matching agreements and recertifications for this purpose since April
1, 2005. Appendix A provides background information about these prior
agreements.
The SSA component responsible for this agreement and its contents
is the Office of Privacy and Disclosure. The responsible component for
