SUMMARY:
16:55 Sep 02, 2021
In
accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, as amended by the Computer
Matching and Privacy Protection Act of
1988 and the Computer Matching
Privacy Protection Amendment of 1990
(Privacy Act), and Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) guidance on the
conduct of matching programs,
including OMB Final Guidance
Interpreting the Provision of Public Law
100–53 (published in the Federal
Register on June 19,1989 (54 FR 25818)
and OMB Circular A–108, notice is
hereby given of a re-established
matching program between the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) and the
Social Security Administration (SSA).
This matching program, Computer
Matching Agreement 1045, is being
reestablished to enable SSA to disclose
wage and self-employment income
information to OPM. OPM will match
SSA’s information with OPM’s records
on disability retirees under age 60,
disabled adult child survivors, certain
retirees in receipt of a supplemental
benefit under the Federal Employees
Retirement System (FERS), and certain
annuitants receiving a discontinued
service retirement benefit under the
Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS).
The law limits the amount these
retirees, survivors, and annuitants can
earn while retaining benefits paid to
them. Retirement benefits cease upon
re-employment in Federal service for
discontinued service annuitants. OPM
will use the earnings and selfemployment information from SSA to
determine continued eligibility for
benefits under OPM programs.
Participating Agencies: OPM and
SSA.
Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program: Legal authorities for
the disclosures under this agreement are
5 U.S.C. 8337(d), 8341(a)(4)(B),
8344(a)(4)(b), and 8468, which establish
earnings limitations for certain CSRS
and FERS annuitants. The authority to
terminate benefits may be found in 5
U.S.C. 8341(e)(3)(B) and 8443(b)(3)(B).
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26
U.S.C. 6103 (l)(11), requires SSA to
disclose tax return information to OPM

administration of chapters 83 and 84 of
Title 5 of the United States Code.
Purpose: The purpose of this
agreement between OPM and SSA is to
assist OPM in meeting its legal
obligation to offset benefits payable by
OPM to annuitants. SSA will disclose
income and tax return information to
OPM. OPM will use the information
obtained from SSA to match against
OPM’s records of disability retirees
under age 60, disabled adult-child
survivors, certain retirees receiving
supplemental benefit under the Federal
Employees Retirement Systems (FERS),
and certain annuitants receiving a
discontinued service retirement benefit
under the Civil Service Retirement
System (CSRS). Because the law limits
the amount these individuals can earn
and still retain the benefits paid to them
by OPM, OPM will use the SSA
information to determine and
individual’s continued eligibility to
receive a benefit from OPM.
Categories Individuals: The
individuals whose information is
involved in this matching program are
those disability retirees under the age of
60, disabled adult-child survivors,
certain retirees in receipt of a
supplemental benefit under the FERS,
and certain annuitants receiving a
discontinued service retirement benefit
under the CSRS who receive benefits
from OPM. SSA will provide
information about these individuals by
referencing their master file of all
individuals with Social Security
numbers (SSN) and their file of earnings
and self-employment records.
Categories of Records: The categories
of records involved in this matching
program include the full name, SSN,
date of birth, and the tax year for
requested earnings for those individuals
about who the match is being
conducted. In turn, SSA will disclose
the following records to OPM: employer
identification number, name, address,
wage amount from Form W–2, and
earnings amounts form self-employment
income.
System(s) of Records: OPM’s system
of records involved in this matching
program is OPM/Central-1, Civil Service
Retirement and Insurance Records. 64
FR 54930 (Oct. 8, 1999), as amended at
73 FR 15013 (March 20, 2008). SSA’s
