The Department of Defense proposes to add a new routine use to facilitate a computer matching agreement which allows participating State Public Assistance Agencies to identify individuals receiving both federal compensation and pension benefits and public assistance benefits under federal programs administered by the states and to verify public assistance clients' income declarations. The system of records contains personnel, employment, and pay data on current and former military and civilian personnel and survivors and dependents of military personnel. System data is used to conduct computer matches with various agencies in accordance with the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988. This proposed routine use will enable the conducting of a match with state public assistance agencies to continue.
