SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. General

    The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Public 
Law (Pub. L.) 100-503), amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by 
describing the conditions under which computer matching involving the 
Federal government could be performed and adding certain protections 
for persons applying for, and receiving, Federal benefits. Section 7201 
of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508) 
further amended the Privacy Act regarding protections for such persons.
    The Privacy Act, as amended, regulates the use of computer matching 
by Federal agencies when records in a system of records are matched 
with other Federal, State, or local government records. It requires 
Federal agencies involved in computer matching programs to:
    (1) Negotiate written agreements with the other agency or agencies 
participating in the matching programs;
    (2) Obtain approval of the matching agreement by the Data Integrity 
Boards of the participating Federal agencies;
    (3) Publish notice of the computer matching program in the Federal 
Register;
    (4) Furnish detailed reports about matching programs to Congress 
and OMB;
    (5) Notify applicants and beneficiaries that their records are 
subject to matching; and
    (6) Verify match findings before reducing, suspending, terminating, 
or denying a person's benefits or payments.

B. SSA Computer Matches Subject to the Privacy Act

    We have taken action to ensure that all of our computer matching 
programs comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act, as amended.

General Counsel.

A. Participating Agencies

    SSA and IRS

B. Purpose of the Matching Program

    The purpose of this matching program is to set forth the terms, 
conditions, and safeguards under which IRS will disclose to us certain 
information for the purpose of verifying eligibility or the correct 
subsidy percentage of benefits provided under section 1860D-14 of the 
Social Security Act. (42 U.S.C. 1395w-114).

C. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program

    The legal authority for this agreement is Internal Revenue Code 
section 6103(1)(7), which authorizes IRS to disclose return information 
with respect to unearned income to Federal, state, and local agencies 
administering certain benefit programs under the Act. Section 1860-D-14 
of the Act requires our Commissioner to determine the eligibility of 
applicants for the prescription drug subsidy who self-certify their 
income, resources, and family size. Pursuant to section 1860D-14(a)(3) 
of the Act, we must determine whether a Social Security Part D eligible 
individual is a subsidy-eligible individual, and whether the individual 
is an individual as described in section 1860D-14(a). This agreement is 
executed in compliance with the
