DESCRIPTION OF THE MATCH AND RECORDS INVOLVED. A. Description of the Match
1. VBA will provide in VADIR identified data elements of individual VA disability compensation and pension recipients. DMDC will provide in VADIR identified data elements of military members who are currently serving on active duty. The primary key used in VADIR to identify and cross-reference data for a specific individual is the DoD Electronic Data Interchange Person Identifier (DOD_EDI_PN_ID).
2. VA will perform a computer match of individuals receiving VA disability compensation or pensions against the DMDC records of Uniformed Services Members, including National Guard and Reserve personnel, who are currently serving on active duty. VADIR will use the DoD EDIPI to identify matching DoD and VA records, i.e., those that are about the same individual. For matched records, VA will obtain the Service member's name, branch of service, and other required data elements from additional VADIR Tables.
3. VA is responsible for verifying that the computer-generated matches are consistent with the VADIR source data and for resolving all discrepancies or inconsistencies on an individual basis. VA is also responsible for making final determinations as to positive identification, eligibility for benefits, and verifying any other information required, consistent with Section VII of this agreement.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MATCH AND RECORDS INVOLVED. A. Description of the Match Each participating SPAA will send ACF an electronic file of eligible public assistance client information. These files are non-Federal computer records maintained by the States. Participating SPAAs can submit files to DMDC via “Connect Direct” or other secure portal arranged with DMDC. After DMDC receives the SPAA files, it will match the SPAA files against the DMDC database. The DMDC database consists of pay of DoD personnel and retirement records of non-postal Federal civilian employees and military members, both active and retired and survivor annuitants. The matching activity will take place at DMDC and will use all nine digits of the SSN. Resulting "hits" or matches will be disclosed to the relevant SPAAs.
