The purpose of this agreement is for SSA to verify SSNs and other identifying information for the Department of Veterans Affairs, VHA. DVA will use the information SSA provides to ensure the accuracy of its recordkeeping systems.

The purpose of this matching program is to provide the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), both the Veterans Benefit Administration (VBA) and Veterans Health Administration (VHA), with data from income tax return information disclosed to SSA to verify eligibility for VA health benefit programs. The SSA data is used to verify earnings information. VHA will also use SSA's records of wage and self-employment income to verify the veterans' employment status. Health insurance information (obtained from veteran, spouse and/or employer during employment verification) and/or income data (verification of which changes eligibility for medical care) may be forwarded to VHA medical center facilities for eligibility category changes and potential billing activities. VA also submits a weekly file through this exchange to support the VA/SSA/IRS White House Data Sharing initiative to reduce the VA backlog.

The purpose of this exchange is to disclose data from the SSA Master Beneficiary Record (MBR) to VA. This disclosure will provide VA with the data to update the master records of VA beneficiaries receiving income-dependent benefits and to adjust VA income dependent benefits.

On a monthly basis the Department of Veteran's Affairs transmits a file of all Veterans and Veterans spouses receiving a VA pension and/or compensation benefit payment. The interface calculates the VA chargeable income for SSI purposes and posts this amount to the SSR. VA income discrepancies create diaries for field office development. The purpose of this interface is to eliminate SSI overpayments caused by inaccurate recipient reporting of VA compensation (type C unearned income) or VA pension (type E unearned income) by obtaining the correct amounts from VA and posting the income to the SSR. It also enables SSA to efficiently implement a Medicare outreach program, identify income limits for certain individuals, and determine an individuals potential eligibility for Medicare Savings Programs (MSP) and identify these individuals to the States. OEEAS is responsible for the front-end Pre-Edit program that filters the incoming VA file and generates a report containing erroneous values. OASSIS is responsible for the VA/SSR interface and calculation.

The purpose of this query is to provide SSA field office personnel with real-time access to military discharge data from the VA BIRLS database. This information is used to verify allegations made by Veteran claimants. Online access is provided via the Data Exchange Query Menu (DXQM).

Designed to allow the VA real-time online access to SSA's SSN verification service and retrieval of Title II and Title XVI data.

,The Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement Program (VASQIP) database resides in the VA National Surgery Office (NSO) and is a quality assurance activity-derived database containing information on all patients who undergo surgery within the VA. The primary purpose of this database is to improve the quality of care for Veterans undergoing surgery by providing information to care provider teams for self-assessment and quality improvement purposes. Data for the VASQIP database are entered by nurse data managers using Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) at the VA surgical facilities. These data captured in VistA are securely transmitted to the VASQIP database for compilation and analysis. Results of the data analysis are reported from the National Surgery Office (NSO) for quarterly and annual review of surgical quality and patient care issues; these data are confidential and privileged under the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 5705 and its implementing regulations. Note: In 2009, the Cardiac Specialty program (Continuous Improvement in Cardiac Surgery Program (CICSP)) was merged with the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) for a comprehensive all-specialty surgical database, VASQIP. It employs both Microsoft SQL Server and Statistical Analysis Software implementation.,
