DoD announces new matching program linking Military Health Benefits records with Treasury's Do Not Pay system

The Department of Defense issued a Federal Register notice establishing a new computer‑matching program. The program will compare DoD Military Health Benefits records with the Treasury's Do Not Pay Working System to identify and prevent improper payments. The initiative is undertaken under the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019.

Why it matters: The program expands inter‑agency sharing of health and payment data, raising privacy and security considerations for affected individuals.
