HHS conducts computer matching programs with other federal agencies and with state agencies. A complete list of matching programs currently in effect is provided below, with links to the matching agreement and public notice describing each program. For the definition of “matching program” and exceptions to the definition, see 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(8); see also the exception at 5 U.S.C. 406(j)(2). For more information about computer matching, see OMB Circular A-108 (Dec. 2016), HHS Data Integrity Board (DIB) Guidelines for Computer Matching Agreements (Aug. 2016), and HHS DIB annual reports.
