RECORDS ACCURACY ASSESSMENTS. DHS/FEMA and SBA attest that the quality of the specific records to be used in this matching program is assessed to be at least 99% accurate. The possibility of any erroneous match is extremely small. In order to apply for DHS/FEMA assistance online via the DAC portal, an applicant's name, address, SSN, and date of birth are sent to a commercial database provider to perform identity verification. The identity verification ensures that a person exists with the provided credentials. In the rare instances where the applicant's identity is not verified online or the applicant chooses, the applicants must call one of the DHS/FEMA call centers to complete the registrations. The identity verification process is performed again. In order to apply for SBA's Disaster Loan Assistance online via SBA's Electronic Loan Application (ELA) an applicant's name, address, SSN, and date of birth and other information is sent to a commercial database provider to perform identity verification. The identity verification confirms that a person exists with the provided credentials. In the rare instances where the online applicant's identity cannot be verified electronically or if the applicant chooses, the applicant must call SBA's Customer Service Center to complete the online application. Once an application (electronic or paper) is completed and submitted, the information is transmitted to the Disaster Lending System, where it is reviewed and processed by loan officers, who also verify each applicant's identity.

RECORDS ACCURACY ASSESSMENTS. DMDC data is obtained directly from the military Service system with which the sponsoring military service or employer is affiliated. DMDC withholds or flags records which might appear problematic and any records not matching on two data elements (i.e., name and SSN) prior to inclusion in the DMDC Data Base (DMDC 01). DMDC currently estimates the accuracy of the information to be at least 99%. Information used by SPAAs in this matching program is provided by the public assistance client when applying for public assistance benefits. Experience by SPAAs shows their records to be at least 82% accurate.
RECORDS ACCURACY ASSESSMENTS. VHA currently estimates that 99% of the information within the systems covered by the VHA SORN cited in IV.A.2. is accurate for PPACA purposes in cases where (l) an exact Applicant match is returned, (2) the Applicant has an enrollment status of "verified", and (3) their enrollment period coincides with the start/end dates received from the Hub.
RECORDS ACCURACY ASSESSMENTS. Information regarding assessments that have been made on the accuracy of the records are required by the Privacy Act’s section 552a(o)(1)(J). To apply for assistance via the online portal, a FEMA applicant must provide his or her name, address, SSN, and date of birth, which are sent to a commercial database provider to perform identity verification. However, in the instances where the FEMA applicant’s identity is not verified online, applicants must call one of the FEMA call centers to complete their registration. After the application is completed, the identity verification process is attempted again. The FEMA applicant may also choose to complete identity verification by calling one of the FEMA call centers (rather than complete it online). If a FEMA applicant fails the identity verification during the call to the FEMA call center, the operator can manually override the failure to complete the FEMA applicant’s registration. However, the FEMA applicant must provide proof of identity verification before any benefits eligibility can be determined. The FEMA applicant will receive notification of failed identity verification from FEMA via mail or electronic correspondence if they have selected that form of communication during the registration process. FEMA provides notifications as soon as possible and does not have a fixed notice timeline or response time for the applicant. If the FEMA applicant can provide proof of identity verification, the benefits eligibility process continues. However, if the FEMA applicant cannot successfully resolve the identity verification failure, the individual will be deemed ineligible for FEMA benefits. HUD and FEMA agree to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information they respectively provide toward the match are accurate to the degree that it will reasonably assure fairness in determinations made based on the record. However, HUD and FEMA both understand and agree to instruct users of the matched data that the information provided does not conclusively establish the individual's participation or eligibility for HUD or FEMA assistance and that HUD or FEMA, depending on who is using the data for determining program eligibility, will collect additional information before adjusting benefits or denying assistance based on the data received from the match.
RECORDS ACCURACY ASSESSMENTS. A. HUD and VA agree to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information they respectively provide to CAIVRS is accurate to the degree that it will reasonably assure fairness in determinations made on the basis of the records. The Parties further agree that the information provided does not conclusively establish the individual’s liability, fault, or guilt in the matter of the status of their loan. Instead, the data match indicates that further examination may be warranted. CAIVRS users must contact the appropriate VA collection office for additional information before denying credit based on judgment data received from VA through CAIVRS.
B. Out of all the inquiries made to date against the CAIVRS system, HUD has found that corrections to the database were necessary in slightly more than four percent of instances. In such instances, the corrections were either based on either erroneous initial data entry, or following update requests submitted by individuals contesting the outcome of a prescreening. Because the vast majority of these corrections are for the latter case, and do not represent data errors, HUD is confident that the accuracy level of the data provided to the system is greater than 95 percent.
RECORDS ACCURACY ASSESSMENTS. Based on inquiries using eligibility data in the Automated Client Eligibility System (ACES), DSHS attests that the binary responses to USAC will correlate with qualifying program eligibilities reflected in ACES with a high degree of confidence. DSHS is confident that ACES data, on which program eligibilities are determined by DSHS, is verifiably accurate and reliable. USAC estimates that the FCC records to be used in this matching program are at least 99 percent accurate. If either Party has questions regarding the veracity of matched data, the Parties will work together to identify the source of the concern.

Applicants must update their SSN and pass the identity verification to obtain assistance.
