    Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
    of users and the purposes of such uses:
        In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
    552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information contained 
    therein may specifically be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use 
    pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
        1. To the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA):
        a. To provide military personnel and pay data for present and 
    former military personnel for the purpose of evaluating use of veterans 
    benefits, validating benefit eligibility and maintaining the health and 
    well being of veterans.
        b. To provide identifying military personnel data to the DVA and 
    its insurance program contractor for the purpose of notifying 
    separating eligible Reservists of their right to apply for Veteran's 
    Group Life Insurance coverage under the Veterans Benefits Improvement 
    Act of 1996 (38 U.S.C. 1968).
        c. To register eligible veterans and their dependents for DVA 
    programs.
        d. To conduct computer matching programs regulated by the Privacy 
    Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), for the purpose of:
        (1) Providing full identification of active duty military 
    personnel, including full-time National Guard/Reserve support 
    personnel, for use in the administration of DVA's Compensation and 
    Pension benefit program. The information is used to determine continued 
    eligibility for DVA disability compensation to recipients who have 
    returned to active duty so that benefits can be adjusted or terminated 
    as required and steps taken by DVA to collect any resulting over 
    payment (38 U.S.C. 5304(c)).
        (2) Providing military personnel and financial data to the Veterans 
    Benefits Administration, DVA for the purpose of determining initial 
    eligibility and any changes in eligibility status to insure proper 
    payment of benefits for GI Bill education and training benefits by the 
    DVA under the Montgomery GI Bill (Title 10 U.S.C., Chapter 1606 - 
    Selected Reserve and Title 38 U.S.C., Chapter 30 - Active Duty). The 
    administrative responsibilities designated to both agencies by the law 
    require that data be exchanged in administering the programs.
        (3) Providing identification of reserve duty, including full-time 
    support National Guard/Reserve military personnel, to the DVA, for the 
    purpose of deducting reserve time served from any DVA disability 
    compensation paid or waiver of VA benefit. The law (10
    
    [[Page 37862]]
    
    U.S.C. 12316) prohibits receipt of reserve pay and DVA compensation for 
    the same time period, however, it does permit waiver of DVA 
    compensation to draw reserve pay.
        (4) Providing identification of former active duty military 
    personnel who received separation payments to the DVA for the purpose 
    of deducting such repayment from any DVA disability compensation paid. 
    The law requires recoupment of severance payments before DVA disability 
    compensation can be paid (10 U.S.C. 1174).
        (5) Providing identification of former military personnel and 
    survivor's financial benefit data to DVA for the purpose of identifying 
    military retired pay and survivor benefit payments for use in the 
    administration of the DVA's Compensation and Pension program (38 U.S.C. 
    5106). The information is to be used to process all DVA award actions 
    more efficiently, reduce subsequent overpayment collection actions, and 
    minimize erroneous payments.
        2. To the Office of Personnel Management (OPM):
        a. Consisting of personnel/employment/financial data for the 
    purpose of carrying out OPM's management functions. Records disclosed 
    concern pay, benefits, retirement deductions and any other information 
    necessary for those management functions required by law (Pub.L. 83-
    598, 84-356, 86-724, 94-455 and 5 U.S.C. 1302, 2951, 3301, 3372, 4118, 
    8347).
        b. To conduct computer matching programs regulated by the Privacy 
    Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a) for the purpose of:
        (1) Exchanging personnel and financial information on certain 
    military retirees, who are also civilian employees of the Federal 
    government, for the purpose of identifying those individuals subject to 
    a limitation on the amount of military retired pay they can receive 
    under the Dual Compensation Act (5 U.S.C. 5532), and to permit 
    adjustments of military retired pay by the Defense Finance and 
    Accounting Service and to take steps to recoup excess of that permitted 
    under the dual compensation and pay cap restrictions.
        (2) Exchanging personnel and financial data on civil service 
    annuitants (including disability annuitants under age 60) who are 
    reemployed by DoD to insure that annuities of DoD reemployed annuitants 
    are terminated where applicable, and salaries are correctly offset 
    where applicable as required by law (5 U.S.C. 8331, 8344, 8401 and 
    8468).
        (3) Exchanging personnel and financial data to identify individuals 
    who are improperly receiving military retired pay and credit for 
    military service in their civil service annuities, or annuities based 
    on the `guaranteed minimum' disability formula. The match will identify 
    and/or prevent erroneous payments under the Civil Service Retirement 
    Act (CSRA) 5 U.S.C. 8331 and the Federal Employees' Retirement System 
    Act (FERSA) 5 U.S.C. 8411. DoD's legal authority for monitoring retired 
    pay is 10 U.S.C. 1401.
        (4) Exchanging civil service and Reserve military personnel data to 
    identify those individuals of the Reserve forces who are employed by 
    the Federal government in a civilian position. The purpose of the match 
    is to identify those particular individuals occupying critical 
    positions as civilians and cannot be released for extended active duty 
    in the event of mobilization. Employing Federal agencies are informed 
    of the reserve status of those affected personnel so that a choice of 
    terminating the position or the reserve assignment can be made by the 
    individual concerned. The authority for conducting the computer match 
    is contained in E.O. 11190, Providing for the Screening of the Ready 
    Reserve of the Armed Services.
        3. To the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the purpose of

    facilitate the enforcement of child support owed by delinquent obligors 
    within the entire civilian Federal government and the Uniformed 
    Services work force (active and retired). Identifying delinquent 
    obligors will allow State Child Support Enforcement agencies to 
    commence wage withholding or other enforcement actions against the 
    obligors.
        Note 1: Information requested by DHHS is not disclosed when it 
    would contravene U.S. national policy or security interests (42 U.S.C. 
    653(e)).

        c. To the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), DHHS for the 
    purpose of monitoring HCFA reimbursement to civilian hospitals for 
    Medicare patient treatment. The data will ensure no Department of 
    Defense physicians, interns or residents are counted for HCFA 
    reimbursement to hospitals.

    individual concerned. The authority for conducting the computer match 
    is contained in E.O. 11190, Providing for the Screening of the Ready 
    Reserve of the Armed Forces.

    under the Dual Compensation Act (5 U.S.C. 5532), and permit adjustments 
    to military retired pay to be made by the Defense Finance and 
    Accounting Service and to take steps to recoup excess of that permitted 
    under the dual compensation and pay cap restrictions.

    and compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs) currently 
    provided by the residents for computation of their monthly fee and to 
    identify any unreported benefit payments as required by the Armed 
    Forces Retirement Home Act of 1991, Pub.L. 101-510 (24 U.S.C. 414).
        20. To Federal and Quasi-Federal agencies, territorial, state and 
    local governments, and contractors and grantees for the purpose of 
    supporting research studies concerned with the health and well being of 
    the active duty and veteran population. DMDC will disclose information 
    from this system of records for research purposes when DMDC:
        a. has determined that the use or disclosure does not violate legal 
    or policy limitations under which the record was provided, collected, 
    or obtained;
        b. has determined that the research purpose (1) cannot be 
    reasonably accomplished unless the record is provided in individually 
    identifiable form, and (2) warrants the risk to the privacy of the 
    individual that additional exposure of the record might bring;
        c. has required the recipient to (1) establish reasonable 
    administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to prevent 
    unauthorized use or disclosure of the record, and (2) remove or destroy 
    the information that identifies the individual at the earliest time at 
    which removal or destruction can be accomplished consistent with the 
    purpose of the research project, unless the recipient has presented

    justification of a research or health nature for retaining such 
    information, and (3) make no further use or disclosure of the record 
    except (A) in emergency circumstances affecting the health or safety of 
    any individual, (B) for use in another research project, under these 
    same conditions, and with written authorization of the Department, (C) 
    for disclosure to a properly identified person for the purpose of an 
    audit related to the research project, if information that would enable 
    research subjects to be identified is removed or destroyed at the 
    earliest opportunity consistent with the purpose of the audit, or (D) 
    when required by law;
        d. has secured a written statement attesting to the recipient's 
    understanding of, and willingness to abide by these provisions.
        21. To the Educational Testing Service, American College Testing, 
    and like organizations for purposes of obtaining testing, academic,
