Purpose(s)
The purpose of this matching program
between ED and SSA is to assist the
Secretary of Education with verification
of immigration status and SSNs under
20 U.S.C. 1091(g) and (p). SSA will
verify the issuance of an SSN and a date
of death (if applicable) to students and
the parent(s) of dependent students, and
will confirm the citizenship status of
those students applying for financial
assistance programs authorized under
title IV of the HEA. Verification of this
information by SSA will help ED satisfy
its obligation to ensure that individuals
applying for financial assistance meet
eligibility requirements of the HEA.
Verification by this matching program
effectuates the purpose of the HEA
because it provides an efficient and
comprehensive method of verifying the
accuracy of each individual’s SSN, date
of death if applicable and claim to a
citizenship status that permits that
individual to qualify for title IV, HEA
assistance.
Categories of Individuals
ED’s systems of records involved in
the matching program maintain
information on individuals who apply
for Federal student financial assistance
through the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and on
individuals who apply to receive Person
Authentication Service (PAS)
Credentials, a user ID and password to
electronically access their FAFSA
record.
SSA’s system of records involved in
the matching program maintains records
about each individual who has applied
for, and obtained an, SSN.
Categories of Records
ED’s systems of records involved in
the matching program contain (1) the
information to determine an applicant’s
eligibility for Federal student financial
assistance, and (2) the applicant’s
information to receive PAS Credentials,
a user ID and password. The specific
data elements that ED will transmit to
SSA are: Students’ and parent(s) of
dependent students’ SSN, first name,
last name, and date of birth (DOB).
SSA’s system of records involved in
the matching program maintains
information required to apply for, and
obtain, an SSN. The specific data
elements that SSA will send back to ED

SSA will also send a date of death if one
is present on SSA’s database for the
record. Records returned from SSA also
will include a citizenship status code as
follows: A = U.S. citizen, B = legal alien,
eligible to work, C = legal alien, not
eligible to work, D = other, E = alien,
student restricted, F = conditionally
legalized alien, * = foreign born, Blank

effectively to administer the approval,
periodic review, and oversight of
postsecondary educational institutions
that participate in the student aid
programs under title IV of the Higher
Education Act of 1965, as amended
(HEA). A postsecondary educational
institution must be accredited by an
accrediting agency recognized by the
Department for that purpose, and the
institution must also be authorized by
the State in which it is located to be
PO 00000

eligible for programs under title IV of
the HEA. An eligible postsecondary
institution must be approved by the
Department for participation in
programs under title IV of the HEA.
Postsecondary educational
institutions submit an application
through the internet for participation in
programs authorized under title IV of
the HEA. PEPS is the back-end
repository where the data provided by
those institutions resides and can be
accessed by Department staff to confirm
compliance with title IV of the HEA.
Any authorized user can perform an ad
hoc data extract from PEPS, and the
PEPS staff provides tailored extracts to
users on request. A limited number of
scheduled extracts and uploads are run
on a routine basis. These are fixed files,
and no changes are made on either side
without written approval/notice on both
sides.
The PEPS system of records notice
was last published in full in the Federal
Register on June 4, 1999 (64 FR 30106,
30171–30173), and amended on
December 27, 1999 (64 FR 72384,
72405). This system of records notice
was rescinded on August 8, 2017 (82 FR
37089), with plans for the PEPS
functions and records to be integrated
into a new system of records entitled
‘‘Integrated Partner Management (IPM)
system.’’ The Department subsequently
determined not to bring the IPM system
of records into service, and, as a result,
PEPS was kept in service. The new
PEPS system of records notice is being
republished in full in accordance with
the Privacy Act with modifications
being made to system of records notices
from the last publications in 1999. The
IPM system of records notice is being
rescinded.
The Department is modifying the
section of the PEPS notice entitled
‘‘SECURITY CLASSIFICATION’’ to add
that the system is unclassified and the
section of the PEPS notice entitled
‘‘SYSTEM LOCATION’’ to reflect the
current addresses where the system is
located. The Department is modifying
the section entitled ‘‘SYSTEM
MANAGER(S)’’ to reflect the current
location of the Office of Student
Financial Assistance Programs in
Federal Student Aid.
The Department is modifying the
section of the notice entitled ‘‘RECORD
SOURCE CATEGORIES’’ to include that
the system may obtain records from
other persons or entities from which
data is obtained under the section
entitled ‘‘ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS
MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM,

Final Guidance Interpreting the Provisions of Public Law 100-503, the
Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, published in the
Federal Register on June 19, 1989 (54 FR 25818); and OMB Circular No.
A-108, notice is hereby provided of the re-establishment of the
matching program between SSA and ED to assist ED in the verification of
Social Security numbers (SSNs) and confirmation of citizenship status
as recorded in SSA records in order to verify the eligibility of
applicants for student financial assistance under title IV of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).
Participating Agencies
ED and SSA.
Authority for Conducting the Matching Program
ED is authorized to participate in the matching program under
sections 428B(f) (20 U.S.C. 1078-2(f)), 483(a)(12) (20 U.S.C.
1090(a)(12)), 484(g) (20 U.S.C. 1091(g)), and 484(p) (20 U.S.C.
1091(p)) of the HEA.
SSA is authorized to participate in the matching program under
section 1106 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306)) and the

Purpose(s)
The purpose of this matching program between ED and SSA is to
assist the Secretary of Education with verification of immigration
status and SSNs under 20 U.S.C. 1091(g) and (p). SSA will verify the
issuance of an SSN and a date of death (if applicable) to students and
the parent(s) of dependent students, and will confirm the citizenship
status of those students applying for financial assistance programs
authorized under title IV of the HEA. Verification of this information
by SSA will help ED satisfy its obligation to ensure that individuals
applying for financial assistance meet eligibility requirements of the
HEA.
Verification by this matching program effectuates the purpose of
the HEA because it provides an efficient and comprehensive method of
verifying the accuracy of each individual's SSN, date of death if
applicable and claim to a citizenship status that permits that
individual to qualify for title IV, HEA assistance.
Categories of Individuals
ED's systems of records involved in the matching program maintain
information on individuals who apply for Federal student financial
assistance through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
and on individuals who apply to receive Person Authentication Service

records about each individual who has applied for, and obtained an,
SSN.
Categories of Records
ED's systems of records involved in the matching program contain
(1) the information to determine an applicant's eligibility for Federal
student financial assistance, and (2) the applicant's information to
receive PAS Credentials, a user ID and password. The specific data
elements that ED will transmit to SSA are: Students' and parent(s) of
dependent students' SSN, first name, last name, and date of birth
(DOB).
SSA's system of records involved in the matching program maintains
information required to apply for, and obtain, an SSN. The specific
data elements that SSA will send back to ED include: SSN, first name,
last name, DOB, and an SSA verification code on each record to indicate
the match results. The verification codes are: 1 = No match on SSN, 3 =
SSN match, name match, no match on DOB, 5 = SSN match, no match on
name, DOB not checked, 6 = SSN not verified, Blank = SSN match, name
match, DOB match. SSA will also send a date of death if one is present
on SSA's database for the record. Records returned from SSA also will
include a citizenship status code as follows: A = U.S. citizen, B =
legal alien, eligible to work, C = legal alien, not eligible to work, D
= other, E = alien, student restricted, F = conditionally legalized
alien, * = foreign born, Blank = domestic born (U.S. citizen), N =
unable to verify citizenship due to no match on name, DOB, or SSN.
