Elements to Verify Eligibility; OMB Control Number 0704-0545.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
for the Government to verify whether or not an individual was impacted 
by the OPM cybersecurity incident involving background investigation 
records and to send a letter confirming status as ``impacted'' or ``not

has been input into the OPM secure portal, it will be compared to an 
electronic master file and verification will be accomplished 
electronically. After the Government has validated the individual's 
status, the DoD Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) will generate and 
mail a response letter. This letter will either confirm eligibility and 
contain a PIN for impacted individuals, or confirm that the individual 
was not impacted by this cybersecurity incident
