1988, as amended, the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
is providing notice of its intent to reestablish a computer matching
agreement (CMA) with the Social
Security Administration (SSA) for a
recurring matching program with HUD’s
Office of Public and Indian Housing
(PIH) and Office of Housing, involving
comparisons of Social Security numbers
(SSN) and benefit information provided
by participants in any authorized HUD
rental housing assistance program. HUD
will obtain SSA data and make the
results available to: (1) Program
administrators such as public housing
agencies (PHAs) and private owners and
management agents (O/As) (collectively
referred to as POAs) to enable them to
verify the accuracy of income reported
by the tenants (participants) of HUD
rental assistance programs, and (2)
contract administrators (CAs) overseeing
and monitoring O/A operations as well
as independent public auditors (IPAs)
that audit both PHAs and O/As. The
most recent renewal of the current
matching agreement expired on
November 7, 2021.
DATES: The CMA will become
applicable 30 days after the publication
of this notice, unless comments have
been received from interested members
of the public requiring modification and
republication of the notice. The
matching program will continue for 18
months after the applicable date and
may be extended for an additional 12
months, if the respective agency Data
Integrity Boards (DIBs) determine that
the conditions specified in 5 U.S.C.
552a(o)(2)(D) have been met.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice supersedes a similar notice
published in the Federal Register on
March 26, 2019, at 84 FR 11321.
Administrators of HUD rental assistance
programs rely upon the accuracy of
tenant-reported income to determine
participant eligibility for and level of
rental assistance. The computer
matching program may provide
indicators of potential tenant
unreported or under-reported income,
which will require additional
verification to identify inappropriate or
inaccurate rental assistance and may
provide indicators for potential
administrative or legal actions. The
matching program will be carried out to
detect inappropriate or inaccurate rental
assistance. Specifically, the computer
matching program will match HUD’s
tenant data to SSA’s death data, Social
Security (SS) and Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) benefits data.
Participating Agencies: Department of
Housing and Urban Development and
the Social Security Administration.
Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program: 42 U.S.C. 3543
authorizes HUD to require rental
assistance applicants and participants to
disclose their SSNs. HUD requires, as a
condition of eligibility, that individuals
requesting, or continuing to receive,
rental assistance disclose their SSNs (24
CFR 5.216). Section 1106 of the Social
Security Act (Act) (42 U.S.C. 1306) and
the regulations promulgated thereunder
provide legal authority for SSA’s
disclosures in this agreement (20 CFR
part 401). Section 205(r)(3) of the Act
(42 U.S.C. 405(r)(3)) provides legal
authority for SSA to disclose death data
to Federal agencies to ensure proper
payment of Federally funded benefits.
Pursuant to section 7213 of the
Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
Prevention Act of 2004, Public Law
(Pub. L.) No. 108–458, SSA includes
death indicators in verification routines
that SSA determines to be appropriate.
Purpose(s): HUD’s primary objective
of the computer matching program is to
verify the income of participants in
certain rental assistance programs to
determine the appropriate level of rental
assistance, and to detect, deter, and
correct fraud, waste, and abuse in rental
housing assistance programs. In meeting
these objectives, HUD also is carrying
out a responsibility under 42 U.S.C.
1437f(k) to ensure that income data
PO 00000
Frm 00114
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
14553
provided to POAs by household
members is complete and accurate.
HUD’s various rental housing assistance
programs require that participants meet
certain income and other criteria to be
eligible for rental assistance. In
addition, tenants generally are required
to report and recertify the amounts and
sources of their income at least
annually. However, under the Quality
Housing and Work Responsibility Act of
1998, PHAs operating Public Housing
programs may offer tenants the option to
pay a flat rent or an income-based rent.
Those tenants who select a flat rent will
be required to recertify income at least
every three years. In addition, the
changes to the Admissions and
Occupancy final rule (March 29, 2000
(65 FR 16692)) specified that household
composition must be recertified
annually for tenants who select a flat
rent or income-based rent. Additional
uses/benefits of this computer matching
program include: (1) Increasing the
availability of rental assistance to
individuals who meet the requirements
of the rental assistance programs; (2)
after removal of personal identifiers,
conducting analyses of SSA death data
and benefit information, and income
reporting of program participants; and
(3) measuring improper payments due
to under-reporting of income and/or
overpayment of subsidy on behalf of
deceased program participants.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act
of
[[Page 14553]]
1988, as amended, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
is providing notice of its intent to re-establish a computer matching
agreement (CMA) with the Social Security Administration (SSA) for a
recurring matching program with HUD's Office of Public and Indian
Housing (PIH) and Office of Housing, involving comparisons of Social
Security numbers (SSN) and benefit information provided by participants
in any authorized HUD rental housing assistance program. HUD will
obtain SSA data and make the results available to: (1) Program
administrators such as public housing agencies (PHAs) and private
owners and management agents (O/As) (collectively referred to as POAs)
to enable them to verify the accuracy of income reported by the tenants
(participants) of HUD rental assistance programs, and (2) contract
administrators (CAs) overseeing and monitoring O/A operations as well
as independent public auditors (IPAs) that audit both PHAs and O/As.
The most recent renewal of the current matching agreement expired on
November 7, 2021.
DATES: The CMA will become applicable 30 days after the publication of
this notice, unless comments have been received from interested members
of the public requiring modification and republication of the notice.
The matching program will continue for 18 months after the applicable
date and may be extended for an additional 12 months, if the respective
agency Data Integrity Boards (DIBs) determine that the conditions
specified in 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(D) have been met.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice supersedes a similar notice
published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2019, at 84 FR 11321.
Administrators of HUD rental assistance programs rely upon the accuracy
of tenant-reported income to determine participant eligibility for and
level of rental assistance. The computer matching program may provide
indicators of potential tenant unreported or under-reported income,
which will require additional verification to identify inappropriate or
inaccurate rental assistance and may provide indicators for potential
administrative or legal actions. The matching program will be carried
out to detect inappropriate or inaccurate rental assistance.
Specifically, the computer matching program will match HUD's tenant
data to SSA's death data, Social Security (SS) and Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) benefits data.
Participating Agencies: Department of Housing and Urban Development
and the Social Security Administration.
Authority for Conducting the Matching Program: 42 U.S.C. 3543
authorizes HUD to require rental assistance applicants and participants
to disclose their SSNs. HUD requires, as a condition of eligibility,
that individuals requesting, or continuing to receive, rental
assistance disclose their SSNs (24 CFR 5.216). Section 1106 of the
Social Security Act (Act) (42 U.S.C. 1306) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder provide legal authority for SSA's disclosures in
this agreement (20 CFR part 401). Section 205(r)(3) of the Act (42
U.S.C. 405(r)(3)) provides legal authority for SSA to disclose death
data to Federal agencies to ensure proper payment of Federally funded
benefits. Pursuant to section 7213 of the Intelligence Reform and
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, Public Law (Pub. L.) No. 108-458, SSA
includes death indicators in verification routines that SSA determines
to be appropriate.
Purpose(s): HUD's primary objective of the computer matching
program is to verify the income of participants in certain rental
assistance programs to determine the appropriate level of rental
assistance, and to detect, deter, and correct fraud, waste, and abuse
in rental housing assistance programs. In meeting these objectives, HUD
also is carrying out a responsibility under 42 U.S.C. 1437f(k) to
ensure that income data provided to POAs by household members is
complete and accurate. HUD's various rental housing assistance programs
require that participants meet certain income and other criteria to be
eligible for rental assistance. In addition, tenants generally are
required to report and recertify the amounts and sources of their
income at least annually. However, under the Quality Housing and Work
Responsibility Act of 1998, PHAs operating Public Housing programs may
