SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Privacy Act requirements, 
agencies are to publish their amended systems in the Federal Register 
when there is a revision, change, or addition. OIG is proposing to 
delete the following three systems of records (SORN):
1. SORN 09-90-0078

System name:
    Supplementary Security Income (SSI)/Office of Personnel Management 
(OPM) Temporary Matching File, HHS/OS/OIG.

Purpose:
    This system of records was maintained to facilitate the comparison 
of records to identify those Federal employees who may also be 
receiving SSI benefits concurrently with their Government salaries.

Reason for deletion:
    This system of records was a temporary matching file in effect when 
the Social Security Administration (SSA) was still part of the 
Department, and when OIG was tasked with verifying that current 
employees were not also receiving disability payments. SSA has been a 
separate agency since 1995 and no system or files currently exist.
2. SORN 09-90-0079

System name:
    Welfare Fraud Detection File, HHS/OS/OIG.

Purpose:
    This system of records was established to facilitate the 
development of a fraud detection program for Aid to Families with 
Dependent Children to identify individuals who receiving welfare 
illegally through misrepresentation.

Reason for deletion:
    This system of records references office locations that have not 
been valid for over 15 years and predate the creation of the separate 
Department of Education in 1980.
3. SORN 09-90-0102

System name:
    Federal Personnel/HHS-Funded Benefit and Loan Program Temporary 
Matching File, HHS/OS/OIG.

Purpose:
    This system of records was maintained to facilitate the comparison 
of records to identify those Federal employees, Federal retirees, or 
their survivors who also received assistance under an HHS or HHS-funded 
benefit or loan program. These records were used for reviewing 
eligibility and identifying debts owed under these programs.

Reason for deletion:
    This system of records was a temporary matching file for fraud 
detection investigation several years ago. No current files or records 
of this type currently exist within OIG.
    Accordingly, OIG proposes to delete the following systems of 
records:

 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
           System No.                    Title          System Manager

                                   Detection File.

                                   HHS-Funded
                                   Benefit and Loan
                                   Program Temporary
                                   Matching File.
