Common use of ACCURACY ASSESSMENT Clause in Contracts

ACCURACY ASSESSMENT. The SSA Enumeration System used for SSN matching is 100 percent accurate based on SSA’s Office of Analytics, Review, and Oversight (FY 2018 Enumeration Accuracy Review Report, April 2019). SSA does not have an accuracy assessment specific to the data elements listed in this Agreement. However, SSA conducts periodic, statistically valid, stewardship (payment accuracy) reviews, in which the benefits or payments listed in this Agreement are included as items available for review and correction. SSA quality reviewers interview the selected RSDI and SSI beneficiaries/recipients and redevelop the non-medical factors of eligibility to determine whether the payment was correct. Based on the available study results, we have a reasonable assurance that SSA’s accuracy assumptions of a 95 percent confidence level for the monthly benefits or payments listed in this Agreement. DHS-USCIS currently estimates that information within its CLAIMS 3 database is 90-95 percent accurate in reflecting immigration status, but continues to undertake various actions to further improve the quality of the CLAIMS 3 database. In addition, per standard operating procedures, USCIS adjudication officers conducting the queries may consult the USCIS Central Index System for additional information to correct errors. This process includes procedures for DHS-USCIS to correct any errors detected in the CLAIMS 3 immigration status information. ICE currently estimates that removal information recorded in the EID is 99 percent accurate. ICE continues to undertake various actions, such as maximizing automation, to further improve the quality of data submitted to the EID database and thus minimize human error that can occur during manual data entry. ICE law enforcement personnel conduct biometric validation and submit record checks against multiple systems, in addition to comprehensive interviews, to ensure that a subject’s identity is properly captured as part of the enforcement lifecycle.
