Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of a new matching
program.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(‘‘Privacy Act’’), this notice announces
the establishment of a computer
matching program the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission or Agency) and the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) will conduct with
agencies from the States of South
Carolina, Virginia, and Washington. The
purpose of this matching program is to
verify the eligibility of applicants to and
subscribers of the Universal Service
Fund (USF) Lifeline program, which is
administered by USAC under the
direction of the FCC. More information
about this program is provided in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
below.
SUMMARY:
Written comments are due on or
before November 18, 2019. This
computer matching program will
commence on November 18, 2019,
unless written comments are received
that require a contrary determination,
and will conclude on April 19, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Lifeline program provides support for
discounted broadband and voice
services to low-income consumers.
Lifeline is administered by the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) under FCC direction.
Consumers qualify for Lifeline through
proof of income or participation in a
qualifying program, such as Medicaid,
the Supplemental Nutritional
Assistance Program (SNAP), Federal
Public Housing Assistance,
Supplemental Security Income (SSI),
Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit,
or various Tribal-specific federal
assistance programs. In a Report and
Order adopted on March 31, 2016, the
Commission ordered USAC to create a
National Lifeline Eligibility Verifier
(National Verifier), including the
National Lifeline Eligibility Database
(LED), that would match data about
Lifeline applicants and subscribers with
other data sources to verify the
eligibility of an applicant or subscriber.
The Commission found that the
National Verifier would reduce
compliance costs for Lifeline service
providers, improve service for Lifeline
subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud,
and abuse in the program. The purpose
of this particular program is to verify
Lifeline eligibility by establishing that
applicants or subscribers from South
Carolina, Virginia, and Washington are
enrolled in the SNAP or Medicaid
programs.

Purpose(s)
In the 2016 Lifeline Modernization
Order, the FCC required USAC to
develop and operate a National Lifeline
Eligibility Verifier (National Verifier) to
improve efficiency and reduce waste,
fraud, and abuse in the Lifeline
program. The stated purpose of the
National Verifier is ‘‘to increase the
integrity and improve the performance
of the Lifeline program for the benefit of
a variety of Lifeline participants,
including Lifeline providers,
subscribers, states, community-based
organizations, USAC, and the
Commission.’’ 31 FCC Rcd 3962, 4006,
para. 126. To help determine whether
Lifeline applicants and subscribers are
eligible for Lifeline benefits, the Order
contemplates that a USAC-operated
Lifeline Eligibility Database (LED) will
communicate with information systems
and databases operated by other Federal
and State agencies. Id. at 4011–2, paras.
135–7.

The categories of individuals whose
information is involved in this matching
program include, but are not limited to,
those individuals (residing in a single
household) who have applied for
Lifeline benefits; are currently receiving
Lifeline benefits; are individuals who
enable another individual in their
household to qualify for Lifeline
benefits; are minors whose status
qualifies a parent or guardian for
Lifeline benefits; are individuals who
have received Lifeline benefits; or are
individuals acting on behalf of an
eligible telecommunications carrier
(ETC) who have enrolled individuals in
the Lifeline program.
Categories of Records
The categories of records involved in
the matching program include, but are
not limited to, a Lifeline applicant or

from subscriber); qualifying person’s
physical and mailing addresses;
qualifying person’s partial Social
Security number or Tribal ID number;
and qualifying person’s date of birth.
The National Verifier will transfer these
data elements to the source agencies,
which will respond either ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘no’’
that the individual is enrolled in a
Lifeline-qualifying assistance program.
