Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Data Shared with Treasury's Do Not Pay
NASA will disclose Core Financial Management Records to the U.S. Department of the Treasury to review payment and award eligibility through the Do Not Pay Working System as mandated by Executive Order 14249 and OMB M-25-32. This disclosure is used to identify, prevent, or recoup improper payments to applicants or recipients of Federal funds, including funds disbursed by states.
Data Furnished for Individual Reimbursements
NASA may furnish CFMR data to the Department of the Treasury to reimburse individual expenses such as travel, books, and other miscellaneous items. If you have expense reimbursement records with NASA, your information can be shared for the purpose of making those reimbursements.
Data Used to Process Collections and Repayments
NASA may use CFMR data to process payments and collections when an individual is reimbursing the Agency. If you owe money to NASA or are repaying the Agency, your financial records in CFMR may be used to process that collection.
Security Measures for Stored Financial Records
NASA states that CFMR electronic records are kept on secure NASA servers with infrastructure encryption in transit and at rest, and access requires two-factor hardware tokens, PIV badge authentication, or secure VPN. These safeguards apply to records stored in the NASA Applications & Platform Services database.
