Common use of RECORDS ACCURACY ASSESSMENT Clause in Contracts

RECORDS ACCURACY ASSESSMENT. The personal identification data being used in this matching program (SSN, name, and date of birth) that is covered by ED’s Aid Awareness and Application Processing system of records notice is provided to ED by applicants for Title IV, HEA program assistance and, therefore, a high degree of accuracy in the information is achieved. Because this identifier information is derived from information personally reported by the applicant, it is estimated that the identifier information is at least 95 percent accurate. VA estimates, based on previous matching experience, that the accuracy of data matched within its “Compensation, Pension, Education, and Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Records – VA” (58VA21/22/28) system is at least 99 percent accurate. ED and VA have reviewed the records subject to this CMA, and they conclude that the records are being maintained to a standard of accuracy that will reasonably assure fairness in any eligibility determination made on the basis of the records.
