Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, these records or information contained 
therein may specifically be disclosed outside the DOD as a routine use 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
    1. To the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA):
    a. To provide military personnel and pay data for present and 
former military personnel for the purpose of evaluating use of veterans 
benefits, validating benefit eligibility and maintaining the health and 
well being of veterans and their family members.
    b. To provide identifying military personnel data to the DVA and 
its insurance program contractor for the purpose of notifying 
separating eligible Reservists of their right to apply for Veteran's 
Group Life Insurance coverage under the Veterans Benefits Improvement 
Act of 1996 (38 U.S.C. 1968).
    c. To register eligible veterans and their dependents for DVA 
programs.
    d. Providing identification of former military personnel and 
survivor's financial benefit data to DVA for the purpose of identifying 
military retired pay and survivor benefit payments for use in the 
administration of the DVA's Compensation and Pension program (38 U.S.C. 
5106). The information is to be used to process all DVA award actions 
more efficiently, reduce subsequent overpayment collection actions, and 
minimize erroneous payments.
    e. To conduct computer matching programs regulated by the Privacy 
Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), for the purpose of:
    (1) Providing full identification of active duty military 
personnel, including full time National Guard/Reserve support 
personnel, for use in the administration of DVA's Compensation and 
Pension benefit program. The information is used to determine continued 
eligibility for DVA disability compensation to recipients who have 
returned to active duty so that benefits can be adjusted or terminated 
as required and steps taken by DVA to collect any resulting over 
payment (38 U.S.C. 5304(c)).
    (2) Providing military personnel and financial data to the Veterans 
Benefits Administration, DVA for the purpose of determining initial 
eligibility and any changes in eligibility status to insure proper 
payment of benefits for GI Bill education and training benefits by the 
DVA under the Montgomery GI Bill (Title 10 U.S.C., Chapter 1606--
Selected Reserve and Title 38 U.S.C., Chapter 30--Active Duty). The 
administrative responsibilities designated to both agencies by the law 
require that data be exchanged in administering the programs.
    (3) Providing identification of reserve duty, including full time 
support National Guard/Reserve military personnel, to the DVA, for the 
purpose of deducting reserve time served from any DVA disability 
compensation paid or waiver of VA benefit. The law (10 U.S.C. 12316) 
prohibits receipt of reserve pay and DVA compensation for the same time 
period, however, it does permit waiver of DVA compensation to draw 
reserve pay.
    (4) Providing identification of former active duty military 
personnel who received separation payments to the DVA for the purpose 
of deducting such repayment from any DVA disability compensation paid. 
The law requires recoupment of severance payments before DVA disability 
compensation can be paid (10 U.S.C. 1174).
    f. To provide identifying military personnel data to the DVA for 
the purpose of notifying such personnel of information relating to 
educational assistance as required by the Veterans Programs Enhancement 
Act of 1998 (38 U.S.C. 3011 and 3034).

    a. Consisting of personnel/employment/financial data for the 
purpose of carrying out OPM's management functions. Records disclosed 
concern pay, benefits, retirement deductions and any other information 
necessary for those management functions required by law (Pub. L. 83-
598, 84-356, 86-724, 94-455 and 5 U.S.C. 1302, 2951, 3301, 3372, 4118, 
8347).
    b. To conduct computer matching programs regulated by the Privacy 
Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a) for the purpose of:
    (1) Exchanging personnel and financial data to identify individuals 
who are improperly receiving military retired pay and credit for 
military service in their civil service annuities, or annuities based 
on the `guaranteed minimum' disability formula. The match will identify 
and/or prevent erroneous payments under the Civil Service Retirement 
Act (CSRA) 5 U.S.C. 8331 and the Federal Employees' Retirement System 
Act (FERSA) 5 U.S.C. 8411. DOD's legal authority for monitoring retired 
pay is 10 U.S.C. 1401.
    (2) Exchanging civil service and Reserve military personnel data to 
identify those individuals of the Reserve forces who are employed by 
the Federal government in a civilian position. The purpose of the match 
is to identify those particular individuals occupying critical 
positions as civilians and cannot be released for extended active duty 
in the event of mobilization. Employing Federal agencies are informed 
of the reserve status of those affected personnel so that a choice of 
terminating the position or the reserve assignment can be made by the 
individual concerned. The authority for conducting the computer match 
is contained in E.O. 11190, Providing for

and for conducting computer matching as authorized by E.O. 12953 to 
facilitate the enforcement of child support owed by delinquent obligors 
within the entire civilian Federal government and the Uniformed 
Services work force (active and retired). Identifying delinquent 
obligors will allow State Child Support Enforcement agencies to 
commence wage withholding or other enforcement actions against the 
obligors.
