SUMMARY:

Jkt 259001
and United States Postal Service
(USPS), working with states, plan to
provide an in-person option for
conducting the identity verification
states perform in administering
Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits
(the ‘‘Project’’). In this notice, the
Department recognizes that for purposes
of conducting in-person identity
verification in connection with UI
benefits, pursuant to a signed
Interagency Agreement (‘‘IAA’’) with the
Department, the USPS has in place
safeguards adequate to satisfy the
requirements of section 303(a)(1), SSA.
As a result, including the safeguards
and security requirements, do not apply
to disclosures of confidential
unemployment compensation (UC)
information by state UC agencies to the
Department, for redisclosure to USPS,
for the limited purposes set forth herein.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim
Garner, Administrator, Office of
Unemployment Insurance, Employment
and Training Administration, (202) 693–
3029 (this is not a toll-free number) or
1–877–889–5627 (TTY), or by email at
garner.jimmie@dol.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) interprets Federal
law requirements pertaining to the
Federal-State UC program. ETA
interprets section 303(a)(1) of the Social
Security Act to require states to
maintain the confidentiality of certain
UC information. The regulations at 20
CFR part 603 implement this
confidentiality requirement. 20 CFR
603.9 requires States and State UC
agencies to ensure that recipients of
confidential UC information have
certain safeguards in place before any
confidential UC information may be
disclosed. Section 603.9(d) provides
that States are not required to apply the
requirements of § 603.9, including these
safeguards and security requirements, to
a Federal agency which the Department
has determined, by notice published in
the Federal Register, to have in place
safeguards adequate to satisfy the
confidentiality requirement of section
303(a)(1), SSA.
The authority for USPS to enter into
an agreement with the Department is 39
U.S.C. 411 and 39 CFR 259.1, which
permit USPS to furnish nonpersonal
services to Executive agencies within
the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 105. The
Department is authorized, under section
2118 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security (CARES) Act (15
U.S.C. 9034), to fund and administer
projects that detect and prevent fraud,
promote equitable access, and ensure
the timely payment of benefits with

respect to UC programs. Under these
authorities, ETA plans to implement the
Project as a pilot that will be tested in
several states. Based on the pilot’s
results, the in-person identity
verification may be expanded to other
states. USPS and the Department will
implement the Project, in accordance
with the terms of the IAA, to offer
claimants filing an unemployment claim
in a participating state the option to
verify their identity in-person at
specified USPS locations, which
requires the sharing of confidential UC
information among the participating
state UC agencies, the Department, and
USPS.
During the pilot, the initial disclosure
of confidential UC information will be
from the state UC agency to the
Department, as permitted by the public
official exception at 20 CFR 603.5(e).
The Department will then redisclose the
information to USPS. Prior to any
disclosures taking place for the Project,
a signed IAA will be in place between
the Department and USPS, and an
agreement meeting the requirements of
20 CFR 603.10 will be in place between
the Department and each participating
state UC agency.
The Department has determined that
for the limited purposes of the Project,
the methods and procedures employed
by USPS for the protection of
confidential UC information received
from the Department, or states
participating in the Project who have
disclosed confidential UC information
to the Department, meet the
requirements of section 303(a)(1), SSA.
USPS operates information technology
and database systems (collectively, the
IT systems) that USPS regularly reviews
for compliance and security through the
USPS Accreditation & Authorization
(A&A) process. The USPS A&A process
aligns with the requirements contained
in the Federal Information Security
Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), as
amended by the Federal Information
Security Modernization Act of 2014. In
addition, the USPS A&A process aligns
with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) 27001:2013 and
27002:2013 and National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) Risk
Management Framework (RMF)
guidance, including NIST SP 800–37,
Risk Management Framework for
Information Systems and Organizations,
which provides detailed guidance for
the IT systems authorization process.
USPS data security controls are a
combination of USPS specific controls,
ISO 27001, and NIST SP 800–53
Security and Privacy Controls for
Information Systems and Organizations
controls. All USPS controls map
