JUSTIFICATION AND EXPECTED RESULTS Sample Clauses

JUSTIFICATION AND EXPECTED RESULTS. The parties to this Agreement have determined that this computer matching program is justified because it is the most efficient and expeditious means of obtaining and processing the information needed by CA-DSS to verify the immigration status of Benefit Applicants for, and recipients of, TANF and SNAP. It is expected that this matching program will enable CA-DSS to rapidly confirm the eligibility of Benefit Applicants with proper immigration status, identify those Benefit Applicants who require further checks to confirm proper eligibility status, administer sponsor deeming and agency reimbursement requirements, and to identify and prevent improper payments to those Benefit Applicants whose immigration status does not entitle them to receive TANF and SNAP administered by CA-DSS. Available alternatives to the use of this computer matching program for verifying immigration status would impose a much greater administrative and processing burden, would result in higher annual administrative costs, and would protract the average case response time. The anticipated savings from the use of the SAVE Program, including administrative costs and savings derived by eliminating fraudulent benefit payments, is $20,071,766 based on historical savings. Using a computer matching program, CA-DSS can process, in an extremely expeditious manner, a higher volume of queries with reduced overall labor demands. Additionally, because of the rapid response capability provided by this computer matching program, there will be a greater deterrent effect on applicants seeking to fraudulently receive entitlement benefits administered by CA-DSS as compared to a much slower mail- in procedure. One of the major objectives of IRCA, to reduce incentives for undocumented entry and presence in the United States, is furthered by this matching program’s deterrent effect. Finally, this system also supports efforts to curb waste, fraud, and abuse within federally-funded entitlement programs.

JUSTIFICATION AND EXPECTED RESULTS. ED and DHS-USCIS have determined that a computer matching program is the most efficient, expeditious, and effective means of obtaining and processing the information needed by ED to verify the immigration status of applicants for the Title IV Student Financial Assistance Programs. The alternative to using a computer matching program for verifying immigration status would be for each school to submit a verification request through SAVE to verify each student attending the school who identified themselves as an “Eligible noncitizen” on their FAFSA. This would impose a greater administrative burden and delayed response times. Using the computer matching program, responses can be provided within 24 hours of ED inquiries. Applicants who require automated second level verification are provided a response in as little as 72 hours from ED’s second level verification request. ED expects that this computer matching program will enable it to quickly and efficiently verify the status of applicants for the purpose of determining their eligibility for Title IV Student Financial Assistance Programs. The matching program will also quickly identify those applicants who require third level verification before the institution of higher education can independently determine whether the applicant meets the eligibility requirements of the Title IV Student Financial Assistance Programs. ED estimates that this computer matching program costs $771,813 per 21-month processing year to operate. Given an estimated processing time of 15 minutes per applicant, an average cost per record to process a DHS verification of $7.41 per application, and approximately 751,158 applicants, verification of immigration status in the absence of computer matching (i.e., each school completing their students’ verifications) would cost institutions approximately $5,566,081 per processing year. Because computer matching reduces the number of applicants requiring manual verification by 95.85%, this administrative cost to institutions is reduced from $5,566,081 to $197,817 for a total savings of $5,368,264 for the processing year. (Attached is a detailed cost/benefit analysis). In addition to the savings in administrative costs, the computer matching program provides identification of categories of immigration statuses allowing ED to deny eligibility to non-citizens who are not Title IV eligible under the law (and who, without the match, might receive aid). The notice to applicants informing them that thei...

JUSTIFICATION AND EXPECTED RESULTS. Section 5301 provides an option to sentencing judges to deny all or selected Federal benefits (including Title IV, HEA student financial assistance) to individuals convicted of drug trafficking or possession. Section 5301 is one of a number of provisions enacted by Congress with the intent of reducing the demand for illegal drugs. It represents a strong objective that Federal benefits not be used to support individuals engaged in illicit drug activities. DOJ is administering this law in a manner designed to achieve these objectives to the maximum extent possible. The Agencies have determined that a matching program is the most efficient, expeditious, and effective means of obtaining and processing the information needed by ED to determine whether Title IV, HEA applicants have been convicted of certain drug-related offenses and subsequently denied Federal student financial assistance pursuant to section 5301. By matching the names, dates of birth, and SSNs in the DFB/DPFD database with ED’s student financial aid records, ED is able to identify students who do not qualify for Federal student financial assistance pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Controlled Substances Act. Thus, ED avoids the cost of disbursing student financial assistance funds to individuals who do not qualify for Federal student financial assistance, but who would otherwise receive aid had the matching program not existed. Finally, a manual system would require ED to locate matched students after they have already enrolled in school. As of December 2019, DOJ reports that about 19,951 individuals were actively debarred from the receipt of certain Federal benefits, including Federal student financial assistance. In addition, over 18.5 million individuals apply for Federal student financial assistance each award year. In view of these numbers, an automated matching program is the only practical method to prevent improper payments to applicants who are not eligible to receive the benefits administered by ED under Title IV, HEA. For the award year cycle covering 2018-2019, a cost-benefit analysis demonstrated the benefit of using the matching program. While the cost of running the computer matching agreement was $6,162, the total cost avoidance, based upon Title IV, HEA student financial assistance denied in accordance with section 5301, was $310,155 (see Appendix A: Cost-Benefit Analysis). The cost benefit ratio is 0.020. As discussed above, there is no viable alternative to a comput...

JUSTIFICATION AND EXPECTED RESULTS. ED and DoD have determined that a computer matching program is the most efficient, expeditious, and effective means of obtaining and processing the information needed by ED to identify applicants who are children of military personnel that died as a result of U.S. military service in Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 2001. DoD will provide ED, from DoD’s DEERS system, with a list containing the dependent’s name, Social Security number (SSN), and date of birth; as well as, from DoD’s DMDC Data Base, the date of death of the parent or guardian of each child whose parent or guardian died as a result of performing military service in Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 2001. By matching those data with ED’s Federal Student Aid Application File, ED will be able to identify Federal student aid applicants who meet the qualifications for increased Federal student financial assistance pursuant to sections 473(b) and 420R of the HEA. Because of the number of individuals who apply for Federal student financial assistance (more than 19 million annually), an automated matching program is the only practical method to identify applicants who may be eligible for increased amounts of Federal student assistance. This CMA will allow both ED and DoD to accomplish their statutory mandates under the HEA. There are no other data sources available with the information needed to comply with the legal requirements. The use of computer technology to transfer data between DoD and ED is faster and more efficient than the use of any manual process. Attached is a cost-benefit analysis for the 2015-16 academic year, demonstrating the benefit of using the computer matching program. The cost of running the computer matching program was $15,678, but the total quantifiable benefit to recipients is estimated to be $459,539 (See Appendix A: Cost-Benefit Analysis).

  • Justification and Anticipated Results The Privacy Act requires that each matching agreement specify the justification for the program and the anticipated results, including a specific estimate of any savings. 5 U.S.C. § 552a(o)(1)(B).

  • Expected Results VA’s agreement with DoD to provide educational assistance is a statutory requirement of Chapter 1606, Title 10, U.S.C., Chapter 1607, Title 10, U.S.C., Chapter 30, Title 38, U.S.C. and Chapter 33, Title 38, U.S.C (Post-9/11 GI Xxxx). These laws require VA to make payments to eligible veterans, service members, guard, reservist, and family members under the transfer of entitlement provisions. The responsibility of determining basic eligibility for Chapter 1606 is placed on the DoD. The responsibility of determining basic eligibility for Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 is placed on VA, while the responsibility of providing initial eligibility data for Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 is placed on DoD. Thus, the two agencies must exchange data to ensure that VA makes payments only to those who are eligible for a program. Without an exchange of enrollment and eligibility data, VA would not be able to establish or verify applicant and recipient eligibility for the programs. Subject to the due process requirements, set forth in Article VII.B.1., 38 U.S.C. §3684A, VA may suspend, terminate, or make a final denial of any financial assistance on the basis of data produced by a computer matching program with DoD. To minimize administrative costs of implementation of the law and to maximize the service to the veteran or service member, a system of data exchanges and subsequent computer matching programs was developed. The purposes of the computer matching programs are to minimize the costs of administering the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Active Duty, the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Selected Reserve, Reserve Educational Assistance Program, and the Post-9/11 GI Xxxx program; facilitate accurate payment to eligible veterans or service members training under the Chapter of the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Active Duty, the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Selected Reserve, Reserve Educational Assistance Program, and the Post-9/11 GI Xxxx program; and to avoid payment to those who lose eligibility. The current automated systems, both at VA and DoD, have been developed over the last twenty-two years. The systems were specifically designed to utilize computer matching in transferring enrollment and eligibility data to facilitate accurate payments and avoid incorrect payments. The source agency, DMDC, stores eligibility data on its computer based system of record. The cost of providing this data to VA electronically are minimal when compared to the cost DMDC would incur if the data were forwarded to VA in a hard-copy manner. By comparing records electronically, VA avoids the personnel costs of inputting data manually as well as the storage costs of the DMDC documents. This results in a VA estimated annual savings of $26,724,091 to VA in mailing and data entry costs. DoD reported an estimated annual savings of $12,350,000. A cost-benefit analysis is at Attachment 1. In the 32 years since the inception of the Chapter 30 program, the cost savings of using computer matching to administer the benefit payments for these educational assistance programs have remained significant. The implementation of Chapter 33 has impacted the Chapter 30 program over the past 8 years (fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2017). Statistics show a decrease of 23 percent in the number of persons who ultimately use Chapter 30 from fiscal year 2015 to 2016. The number of persons who use Chapter 33 has consistently been above 700,000 in the past four years. VA foresees continued cost savings due to the number of persons eligible for the education programs.‌
