Participating Agencies: Office of Child
Support Enforcement (OCSE) is the
source agency, and state agencies
administering the Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF) program are
the recipient agencies.
Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program: 42 U.S.C. 653(j)(3).
Purpose(s): The matching program
provides each participating state agency
with new hire, quarterly wage, and
unemployment insurance information
from OCSE’s National Directory of New
Hires (NDNH) system of records,
pertaining to adult TANF applicants
and recipients, resulting from
comparing client Social Security
numbers in the state agency’s files to
data in NDNH. The match results assist
the state agencies in establishing or
verifying clients’ eligibility for
assistance, reducing payment errors,
and maintaining program integrity,
including determining whether
duplicate participation exists or if the
client resides in another state. The state
agencies may also use the NDNH
information for the secondary purposes
of updating the applicants’ and
recipients’ reported participation in
work activities and updating applicant,
recipient, and employer contact
information maintained by the state
TANF agencies.
Categories of Individuals: The
categories of individuals whose
information is involved in the matching
program are adult members of
households who receive or have applied
for TANF benefits.
Categories of Records: The categories
of records involved in the matching
program are new hire, quarterly wage,
and unemployment insurance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a), provides for certain protections for individuals applying
for and receiving federal benefits. The law governs the use of computer
matching by federal agencies when records in a system of records
(meaning, records about individual retrieved by personal identifier)
are matched with other federal or state agency records. The Privacy Act
requires agencies involved in a matching program to:
1. Enter into a written agreement, which must be prepared in
accordance with the Privacy Act, approved by the Data Integrity Board
of each participating federal agency, provided to Congress and the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and made available to the
public, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(o), (u)(3)(A), and (u)(4).
2. Notify the individuals whose information will be used in the
matching program that the information they provide is subject to
verification through matching, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(D).
3. Verify match findings before suspending, terminating, reducing,
or making a final denial of an individual's benefits or payments or
taking other adverse action against the individual, as required by 5
U.S.C. 552a(p).
4. Report the matching program to Congress and the OMB, in advance
and annually, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(o) (2)(A)(i), (r), and
(u)(3)(D).
5. Publish advance notice of the matching program in the Federal
Register as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(12).
This matching program meets these requirements.
Participating Agencies: Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE)
is the source agency, and state agencies administering the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program are the recipient
agencies.
Authority for Conducting the Matching Program: 42 U.S.C. 653(j)(3).

applicant, recipient, and employer contact information maintained by
the state TANF agencies.

provide the state TANF agency with any available new hire and quarterly
wage information in NDNH (including names, Social Security numbers,
home addresses, and employment information) pertaining to the
individuals whose records are contained in the state TANF agency input
file.
System(s) of Records: The OCSE records disclosed to state TANF
