SBA seeks comments on modified matching program under Privacy Act

The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a Federal Register notice requesting public comment on a Privacy Act notice for a revised computer‑matching program. The program will compare SBA benefits records with the Treasury Department’s Do Not Pay system under the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019. The notice omitted the required System of Records appendix.

Why it matters: SBA is updating its data‑matching program and inviting feedback, which may affect how personal data are shared between agencies.
