§1320e–3 Information Exchange with Payroll Data Providers

Summary

The Social Security Commissioner may make an agreement with payroll data providers to share information. The goal is to run monthly insurance benefits listed in subsections (d)(1)(B)(ii), (d)(6)(A)(ii), (d)(6)(B), (e)(1)(B)(ii), and (f)(1)(B)(ii) of section 402 and subsection (a)(1) of section 423, and supplemental security income under subchapter XVI, more efficiently and to stop improper payments without needing other verification. Before doing this, the Commissioner must publish a notice in the Federal Register describing the exchange and saying how the data are needed to determine eligibility and benefit amounts and to prevent wrong payments, and whether the data are accurate, current, and complete. Definitions: "payroll data provider" means payroll companies, wage-verification firms, or other groups that collect employment and wage data (paid or free). "information exchange" means an automated comparison of Social Security records with those payroll records.
