DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Privacy Act of 1974; Report of Amended Matching Program
AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is hereby given that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
intends to conduct a recurring computer matching program matching
Department of Defense (DOD) Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) active
duty records with VA disability Compensation records.
The goal of this match is to identify VA disability compensation
benefit recipients who return to active duty, and to adjust or
terminate benefits, if appropriate.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) plans to match records of
veterans who receive disability compensation from VA with active duty
records maintained by DOD. The match with DOD will provide VA with data
from the Defense Manpower Data Center Data Base. VA will use the data
to update the master records of VA beneficiaries receiving disability
compensation benefits and to adjust VA benefit payments as prescribed
by law. Otherwise, information about a VA beneficiary's return to
active duty is obtained from reporting by the beneficiary. The proposed
matching program will enable VA to ensure accurate reporting of return
to active duty.
Records to be Matched: The VA records involved in the match are the
VA system of records, Compensation, Pension, Education and
Rehabilitation Records--VA (58 VA 21/22) contained in the Privacy Act
Issuances, 1991 compilation, Volume II, pages 967-971 as amended. The
DOD records consist of information from the system of records
identified as S322.10 DMDC Defense Manpower Data Center Data Base
published at 58 FR 10872, February 22, 1993.
In accordance with Title 5 U.S.C. subsection 552a(o)(2) and (r),
copies of the agreement are being sent to both Houses of Congress and
to the Office of Management and Budget.
This notice is provided in accordance with the provisions of the
Privacy Act of 1974 as amended by Public Law 100-503.
The match is estimated to start June 1, 1995, but will start no
sooner than 40 days after publication of this Notice in the Federal
Register, or 40 days after copies of this Notice and the agreement of
the parties is submitted to Congress and the Office of Management and
Budget, whichever is later, and end not more than 18 months after the
agreement is properly implemented by the parties. The involved
agencies' Data Integrity Boards (DIB) may extend this match for 12
months provided the agencies certify to their DIBs, within three months
of the ending date of the original match, that the matching program
will be conducted without change and that the matching program has been
conducted in compliance with the original matching program.
ADDRESSES: Interested individuals may comment on the proposed matches
by writing to the Director, Compensation and Pension Service (21),
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
20420.
