Xxxxxxx of the Matching Program. The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended by the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, hereinafter “Privacy Act,” requires that each matching agreement specify the purpose and legal authority for conducting the matching program. 5 U.S.C. § 552a (o)(1)(A). The purpose of the matching program is to assist the state agency in administering the Unemployment Compensation (UC) benefits program including ensuring timely and accurate UC benefit payments, ensuring program integrity, assessing and collecting unemployment tax contributions, and fulfilling federal reporting requirements. The state agency will transmit to OCSE the name and Social Security number (SSN) of each UC applicant or beneficiary. OCSE will provide the state agency with new hire and quarterly wage information from the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) pertaining to the individuals and their employers. The state agency will use the NDNH comparison results to establish or verify the individuals’ eligibility for benefits or continuing compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements governing the UC program. The NDNH comparison results will enable the state agency to: • Verify wages paid to applicants and beneficiaries to determine initial and continuing eligibility for benefits • Prevent, detect, and collect improper UC benefit payments by identifying beneficiaries who have unreported wages and those who have returned to work and fraudulently continue to claim benefits • Locate individuals with outstanding UC overpayments or “skip-tracing” Pursuant to additional U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) requirements to administer UC benefit programs, states may use NDNH results to perform additional tasks. With the expansion of responsibilities required by state workforce agencies under their mandate, such as jobs placement and tax compliance enforcement, the uses approved for NDNH have expanded beyond determining eligibility and amounts of benefits. While the following list is not exhaustive of all possible purposes, it provides additional guidance to states on appropriate uses for, and limitations on use of, NDNH data.

The Privacy Act, as amended by the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, provides that no record contained in a system of records (SOR) may be disclosed for use in a computer matching program, except pursuant to a written agreement containing specified provisions. 5 U.S.C. § 552a(o). SSA and OCSE are executing this agreement to comply with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder. See prior agreements at Appendix A. The Commissioner of Social Security is required to verify eligibility of a recipient or applicant for SSI using independent or collateral sources. SSI benefits may not be determined solely based on declarations by the applicant concerning eligibility factors or other relevant facts. Information is also obtained, as necessary, in order to assure that SSI benefits are only provided to eligible individuals (or eligible spouses) and that the amounts of such benefits are correct. Section 1631(e)(1)(B) of the Act (42 X.X.X § 0000(x)(0)(X)). The Ticket program evaluates the work activity (employment and earnings levels) of DI and SSI beneficiaries as a basis to pay and verify milestone, outcome, and cost reimbursement payments to Employment Networks (EN) and State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Agencies.

OCSE will provide the state agency with new hire, quarterly wage, and unemployment insurance information from the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) pertaining to individuals identified by the state agency who are adult applicants for, or recipients of, assistance under the TANF program. The state agency may also use the NDNH information to update applicants’ and recipients’ reported participation in work activities and contact information for applicants, recipients, and their employers. A computerized comparison of a system of records with non-federal records for the purpose of establishing or verifying the eligibility for benefits, or continuing compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, by applicants for or recipients or beneficiaries of cash or in-kind assistance or payments under a federal benefit program constitutes a “matching program,” as defined by the Privacy Act at 5 U.S.C. § 552a(a)(8)(A)(i)(II). Records may not be disclosed from a system of records to a recipient agency or non-federal agency for use in a matching program except pursuant to a written agreement containing the provisions specified in the Privacy Act at 5 U.S.C. § 552a(o).

Xxxxxxx of the Matching Program. This agreement establishes a computer matching program between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the State Public Assistance Agencies (SPAAs, described in Attachment A: PARIS SPAA List). The purpose of the matching program is to provide the SPAAs with VA compensation and pension data on a periodic basis to use in determining public assistance applicants’ and recipients’ eligibility for benefits under the Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and general assistance programs, and to use in helping relevant veterans to better understand similar benefits available through the VA which may be better alternatives. The matching program helps ensure fair and equitable treatment in the delivery of benefits attributable to funds provided by the Federal Government. The Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (HHS/ACF) will act as the facilitating agency, and the Department of Defense, Defense Manpower Data Center (DOD/DMDC) will conduct the match and provide associated support. ACF, in its role as match facilitator, will support each SPAA in its efforts to ensure appropriate delivery of benefits by assisting with drafting the necessary agreements, helping arrange signatures to the agreements, and arranging computer support services to implement the SPAA matches with VA data. ACF will forward a report containing a public notice of the proposed matching program for prior approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Congress, and will publish the approved notice in the Federal Register. The disclosures of VA data under this matching program are authorized by a routine use published in a VA System of Records Notice (SORN), as described in Attachment B: VA Routine Use. To accomplish this match, the SPAAs will provide DMDC with a file of identifying information about individuals receiving Medicaid (CMS), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and/or general assistance benefits. VA will provide DMDC with a file of identifying information about individuals receiving VA compensation and pension benefits and the amounts of the benefits. DMDC will match the SPAAs’ files with the VA file and provide match results to the relevant SPAAs. The SPAAs will then use the VA information to verify client circumstances for benefit eligibility and to initiate actions when appropriate. This agree...

How Are Distributions from a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account Taxed For Federal Income Tax Purposes? Amounts distributed are generally excludable from gross income if they do not exceed the beneficiary’s “qualified higher education expenses” for the year or are rolled over to another Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account according to the requirements of Section (4). “Qualified higher education expenses” generally include the cost of tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment for enrollment at (i) accredited post-secondary educational institutions offering credit toward a bachelor’s degree, an associate’s degree, a graduate-level or professional degree or another recognized post-secondary credential and (ii) certain vocational schools. In addition, room and board may be covered if the beneficiary is at least a “half-time” student. This amount may be reduced or eliminated by certain scholarships, qualified state tuition programs, HOPE, Lifetime Learning tax credits, proceeds of certain savings bonds, and other amounts paid on the beneficiary’s behalf as well as by any other deductions or credits taken for the same expenses. The definition of “qualified education expenses” includes expenses more frequently and directly related to elementary and secondary school education, including the purchase of computer technology or equipment or Internet access and related services. To the extent payments during the year exceed such amounts, they are partially taxable and partially non-taxable similar to payments received from an annuity. Any taxable portion of a distribution is generally subject to a 10% penalty tax in addition to income tax unless the distribution is (i) due to the death or disability of the beneficiary, (ii) made on account of a scholarship received by the beneficiary, or (iii) is made in a year in which the beneficiary elects the HOPE or Lifetime Learning credit and waives the exclusion from income of the Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account distribution. You may be allowed to take both the HOPE or Lifetime Learning credits while simultaneously taking distributions from Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Accounts. However, you cannot claim a credit for the same educational expenses paid for through Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account distributions. To the extent a distribution is taxable, capital gains treatment does not apply to amounts distributed from the account. Similarly, the special five- and ten-year averaging rules for lump-sum distributions do not apply to distributions from a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account. The taxable portion of any distribution is taxed as ordinary income. The IRS does not require withholding on distributions from Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Accounts.
