The Social Security Administration has announced the renewal of a computer matching program between the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Department of Veterans Affairs/Veterans Benefits Administration (Match 1309) that is currently scheduled to expire on April 1, 2010. The purpose of the matching program is to verify an individual's self-certification of eligibility for prescription drug subsidy assistance under the Social Security Act. The program also will identify those individuals eligible for Medicare Savings Programs and subsidized Medicare prescription drug coverage, which will enable the SSA to implement a Medicare outreach program mandated by Section 1144 of Title XI of the Social Security Act.
The program matches electronic files containing compensation and pension payment data from the VA's system of records (SOR) identified as “Compensation, Pension, Education, and Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Records-VA” with the SSA's Medicare database. The program will become effective either 40 days after notice of the program is sent to Congress and the Office of Management and Budget, or March 24, 2010, whichever is later. It will be in effect for 18 months, but can be extended for an additional 12 months.
The full text of the notice was published in the February 22, 2010, issue of the Federal Register (75 Fed. Reg. 7648).
