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

[[Page 990]]

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.

Mary Ann Zimmerman,
Acting Executive Director, Office of Privacy and Disclosure, Office of 
the General Counsel.

Notice of Computer Matching Program, SSA with the Railroad Retirement 
Board (RRB)

A. Participating Agencies

SSA and RRB

B. Purpose of the Matching Program

    The purpose of this matching program is to set forth the terms, 
safeguards, and procedures under which RRB, as the source agency, will 
disclose RRB annuity payment data to us, the recipient agency. We will 
use the information to verify Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and 
Special Veterans Benefits (SVB) eligibility and benefit payment 
amounts. We will also record the railroad annuity amounts RRB paid to 
SSI and SVB recipients in the Supplemental Security Income Record 
(SSR).

C. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program

    The legal authority for this agreement is executed in compliance 
with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended by the Computer 
Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, the regulations and 
guidance promulgated thereunder.
    Legal authority for the disclosure under this agreement for the SSI 
portion are sections 1631(e)(1)(A) and (B) and 1631(f) of the Social 
Security Act (Act) (42 U.S.C. 1383(e)(1)(A) and (B) and 1383(f)). The 
legal authority for the disclosure under this agreement for the SVB 
portion is section 806(b) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 1006(b)).

D. Categories of Records and Persons Covered by the Matching Program

    RRB will provide us with an electronic data file containing annuity 
payment data from RRB's system of records, RRB-22 Railroad Retirement, 
Survivor, and Pensioner Benefits System, last published on December 1, 
2014 (79 FR 58890). We will match RRB's data with data maintained in 
the SSR, Supplemental Security Income Record and Special Veterans 
Benefits, SSA/ODSSIS, 60-0103, published on January 11, 2006 (71 FR 
1830) and December 10, 2007 (72 FR 69723). SVB data also resides on the 
SSR.

E. Inclusive Dates of the Matching Program

    The effective date of this matching program is March 2, 2016, 
provided that the following notice periods have lapsed: 30 days after 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register and 40 days after 
notice of the matching program is sent to Congress and OMB. The 
matching program will continue for 18 months from the effective date 
and, if both agencies meet certain conditions, it may extend for an 
additional 12 months thereafter.
