Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Federal Housing Finance Agency

Abstract

In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, (Privacy Act), the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA or Agency) is proposing to modify an existing system of records titled, "Employee Benefits Records, FHFA-10." This system of records contains documentation pertaining to current and former FHFA employees and their spouses, domestic partners, dependents, and beneficiaries who are enrolled in, apply for, or participate in any FHFA employee benefits program including health club memberships; health, life, and other insurance programs; retirement savings programs; and other FHFA- sponsored benefit programs. The purpose of the system is to collect, maintain, and use the records necessary to administer and manage FHFA's employee benefits programs. The system supports the full lifecycle of benefits-related activities, and ensures the accurate processing of claims, reimbursements, contributions, payroll deductions, and benefit payments. The system also facilitates the recording and tracking of key program functions, including eligibility determinations, enrollments, changes in coverage, and termination of benefits. The proposed modifications include: revising the system security classification, system location, system manager, legal authorities for maintenance of the system, categories of individuals covered by the system, categories of records maintained in the system, and record source categories; the revision, removal, and addition of routine uses; removal of the Disclosure to Consumer Reporting Agencies section; updating the policies and practices for storage of records, the policies and practices for retention and disposal of records, and the administrative, technical, and physical safeguards; and minor updates for clarity and consistency.
