Representatives, and the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 
of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as required by 5 U.S.C. 
552a(r) of the Privacy Act. HHS invites interested parties to review 
and submit written data, comments or arguments to the agency about the 
matching program until July 10, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as 
amended, provides for certain protections for individuals applying for 
and receiving federal benefits. The law governs 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. The 
Privacy Act requires agencies involved in computer matching programs 
to:
    1. Negotiate written agreements with the other agency or agencies 
participating in the matching programs.
    2. Provide notification to applicants and beneficiaries that their 
records are subject to matching.
    3. Verify information produced by such matching program before 
reducing, making a final denial of, suspending, or terminating an 
individual's benefits or payments.
    4. Publish notice of the computer matching program in the Federal 
Register.
    5. Furnish reports about the matching program to Congress and OMB.
    6. Obtain the approval of the matching agreement by the Data 
Integrity Board of any federal agency participating in a matching 
program.
    This matching program meets these requirements.

    Dated: June 5, 2015.

Deputy Commissioner, Office of Child Support Enforcement.
Notice of New Computer Matching Program

A. Participating Agencies:
    The participating agencies are the Office of Child Support 
Enforcement (OCSE), which is the ``source agency,'' and state agencies 
administering the Unemployment Compensation (UC) program, which are the 
``non-federal agencies.''

B. Purpose of the Matching Program:
    The primary purpose of the matching program is to provide new hire 
and quarterly wage information from OCSE's National Directory of New 
Hires (NDNH) to state agencies administering UC programs to assist in 
establishing or verifying the eligibility of, or continuing compliance 
with statutory and regulatory requirements by, applicants for, or 
recipients of, UC benefits. The state agencies administering the UC 
programs may also use the NDNH information for the secondary purpose of 
administration of its tax compliance function.

C. Authority for Conducting the Match:
    The authority for conducting the matching program is contained in 
Section 453(j)(8) of the Social Security Act. (42 U.S.C. 653(j)(8)).

D. Categories of Individuals Involved and Identification of Records 
Used in the Matching Program:
    The categories of individuals involved in the matching program are 
individuals who receive or have applied for UC benefits. The system of 
records maintained by OCSE from which records will be disclosed for the 
purpose of this matching program is the ``OCSE National Directory of 
New Hires,'' No. 09-80-0381, last published in the Federal Register at 
80 FR 17906 on April 2, 2015. The NDNH contains new hire, quarterly 
wage, and unemployment insurance information. The disclosure of NDNH 
information by OCSE to the state agencies administering UC programs is 
a ``routine use'' under this system of records. Records resulting from 
the matching program and disclosed to the state agencies administering 
UC programs include names, Social Security numbers, home addresses, and 
employment information.

E. Inclusive Dates of the Matching Program:
    The computer matching agreement will be effective and matching 
activity may commence the later of the following:
    (1) 30 days after this Notice is published in the Federal Register, 
or (2) 40 days after OCSE sends a report of the matching program to the 
Congressional committees of jurisdiction under 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(A), 
and to OMB, unless OMB disapproves the agreement within the 40-day 
review period or grants a waiver of 10 days of the 40-day review 
period. The matching agreement will remain in effect for 18 months from 
its effective date, unless one of the parties to the agreement advises 
the other by written request to terminate or modify the agreement. The 
agreement is subject to renewal by the HHS Data Integrity Board for 12 
additional months if the matching program will be conducted without any 
change and OCSE and the state agency certify to the Data Integrity 
Board in writing that the program has been conducted in compliance with 
the agreement.
