The
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a), provides 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, which contains
information about individuals that are
retrieved by name or other personal
identifier, are matched with records of
other federal, state, or local government
records. The Privacy Act requires
agencies involved in a matching
program to:
1. Obtain approval of a Computer
Matching Agreement, prepared in
accordance with the Privacy Act, by the
Data Integrity Board of any federal
agency participating in a matching
program.
2. Enter into a written Computer
Matching Agreement
3. Provide a report of the matching
program to Congress and the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and
make it available to the public, as
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(o), (u)(3)(A),
and (u)(4).
4. Publish a notice of the matching
program in the Federal Register as
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(12) after
OMB and Congress complete their
review of the report, as provided by
OMB Circular A–108,
5. 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).
6. 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).
This matching program meets these
requirements.

and receiving federal benefits. The law governs the use of computer
matching by federal agencies when records in a system of records, which
contains information about individuals that are retrieved by name or
other personal identifier, are matched with records of other federal,
state, or local government records. The Privacy Act requires agencies
involved in a matching program to:
1. Obtain approval of a Computer Matching Agreement, prepared in
accordance with the Privacy Act, by the Data Integrity Board of any
federal agency participating in a matching program.
2. Enter into a written Computer Matching Agreement
3. Provide a report of the matching program to Congress and the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and make it available to the
public, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(o), (u)(3)(A), and (u)(4).
4. Publish a notice of the matching program in the Federal Register
as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(12) after OMB and Congress complete
their review of the report, as provided by OMB Circular A-108,
5. 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).
6. 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).
This matching program meets these requirements.
Dated: June 17, 2019.

Commissioner, OCSE.
Participating Agencies
The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) is the source
agency, and state agencies administering the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) are non-federal (recipient) agencies.
Authority for Conducting the Matching Program

The Agriculture Act of 2014, Public Law 113-079, amended section 11(e)

Purpose(s)
The purpose of the matching program is to provide each
participating state agency administering SNAP with new hire, quarterly
wage, and unemployment insurance information from OCSE's National
Directory of New Hires (NDNH) system of records to assist them in
establishing or verifying SNAP applicants' and recipients' eligibility
for assistance, reducing payment errors, and maintaining program
integrity, including determining whether duplicate participation exists
or if the applicant or recipient resides in another state. The state
SNAP agencies may also use the NDNH information for the secondary
purpose of updating the recipients' reported participation in work
activities and updating recipients' and their employers' contact
information maintained by the state SNAP agencies.
Categories of Individuals
The categories of individuals involved in the matching program are
adult members of households who have applied for or receive SNAP
benefits.
