Guidance Interpreting the Provisions of the Computer Matching and 
Privacy Protection Act of 1988, and the Serve America Act, the

notice of its renewal of its computer matching agreement with the 
Social Security Administration (SSA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), as 
amended by the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 
(Pub. L. 100-503), regulates the use of computer matching agreements by 
federal agencies when records in a system of records are matched with 
other federal, state, or local government records. Among other things, 
it requires federal agencies involved in computer matching agreements 
to publish a notice in the Federal Register regarding the establishment 
of a computer matching agreement. The SSA will conduct a computer match 
with CNCS to verify Social Security numbers (SSN) and provide the 
citizenship status, as recorded in SSA records, of individuals applying 
to serve in approved national service positions and those designated to 
receive national service education awards under the National and 
Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA). 42 U.S.C. 12501, et seq.

Inclusive Dates of the Matching Program

    This renewed matching program will continue for 18 months after the 
effective date and may be extended for an additional 12 months 
thereafter, if the conditions specified in 5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(A) and 
OMB Circular A-108 (December 23, 2016) have been met. In order to renew 
this agreement, both CNCS and SSA must certify to their respective Data 
Integrity Boards that: (1) The matching program will be

[[Page 44032]]

conducted without change; and (2) the matching program has been 
conducted in compliance with the original agreement.

Procedure

    CNCS will provide SSA with a data file including social security 
number, first and last names, and date of birth. SSA will conduct a 
match on the identifying information. If the match does not return a 
result verifying the individual's social security number and 
citizenship status, CNCS will notify the individual or the grant 
recipient program that selected the individual. The affected individual 
will have an opportunity to contest the accuracy of the information 
provided by SSA in accordance with the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552a(p) 
and applicable OMB guidelines.
    The individual will have at least 30 days from the date of the 
notice to submit evidence demonstrating the accuracy of the social 
security number and/or proof that the individual is a citizen, 
national, or lawful permanent resident alien of the United States. CNCS 
will consider any timely submitted evidence to determine whether the 
record establishes the accuracy of the social security number and/or 
the United States citizenship, nationality or lawful permanent 
residency of the individual. If the individual fails to timely submit 
such evidence, CNCS will presume that the information provided by SSA 
is accurate. The notice will so advise the individual.

Additional Notice

    Applicants and transferees will be informed that information 
provided on the application is subject to verification through a 
computer matching program. The application package will contain a 
privacy certification notice that the applicant must sign authorizing 
CNCS to verify the information provided. Individuals receiving a 
transferred Education Award will be informed at the time identifying 
information is requested from the transferee, that their data will be 
verified through this computer matching agreement. The form requesting 
this data will contain a privacy certification notice that the 
applicant must sign authorizing CNCS to verify the information 
provided.
    Participating Agencies: Participants in this computer matching 
program are the Social Security Administration (source agency) and the 
Corporation for National and Community Service (recipient agency).
    Authority for Conducting the Matching Program: The authority for 
creating this matching program is pursuant to section 1711 of the Serve 
America Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-13, April 21, 2009). The legal 
authority for the disclosure of SSA data under this agreement is 
pursuant to section 1106 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 
1306(b)), 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) of the Privacy Act, and associated 
regulations and guidance.
    CNCS's legal authority to enter into this agreement is in section 
146(b)(3) of the National and Community Service Act (NCSA) (42 U.S.C. 
12602(a)), concerning an individual's eligibility to receive a Segal 
AmeriCorps Education Award from the National Service Trust upon 
successful completion of a term of service in an approved national 
service position. The authority is further articulated in section 1711 
of the Serve America Act (Pub. L. 111-13), that directs CNCS to enter 
into a data matching agreement to verify statements made by an 
individual declaring that such individual is in compliance with section 
146(b)(3) of the NCSA by comparing information provided by the 
individual with information relevant to such a declaration in the 
possession of another federal agency.
    Purpose(s): The computer matching agreement between CNCS and SSA 
enables CNCS to verify the social security numbers of most applicants 
for approved national service positions, and verify statements made by 
those applicants regarding their citizenship status according to the 
records that SSA has on file. SSA is not the custodian of U.S. 
citizenship records.
    Categories of Individuals: Each individual who applies to serve in 
an approved national service position, and will receive an Education 
Award pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 142(a) including positions in AmeriCorps 
State and National, AmeriCorps VISTA, AmeriCorps NCCC, Serve America 
Fellows, as well as individuals who are the recipient of a transferred 
Education Awards are subject to the matching program. At the time of 
application, CNCS must certify that the individual meets the 
citizenship eligibility criteria to serve in the position and/or 
receive an Education Award, i.e., is a citizen, national, or lawful 
permanent resident alien of the United States. Furthermore, these 
members must provide an accurate social security number.
    Categories of Records: The Master Files of Social Security Number 
Holders and SSN Applications SSA/OEEAS 60-0058, system of records last 
published at 74 FR 62866 (December 1, 2009) (Enumeration System) 
maintains records about each individual who has applied for and 
obtained an SSN. SSA uses information from the Enumeration System to 
assign SSNs. The information CNCS provides from the AmeriCorps Member 
Individual Account (Corporation 8) system of records will be matched 
against this system of records and verification results will be 
disclosed under the applicable routine use.

    Dated: August 13, 2018.

Acting Chief Information Officer.
