MASSACHUSETTS STATUTES AND CODES
Section 12 Release of data to federal and out-of-state agencies pursuant to wage match programs; use of data by department of employment and training and department of education
Section 12. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the release by the commissioner, pursuant to the terms of federally-mandated wage match programs, of wage and financial institution information data to the United States Social Security Administration or to agencies of other states who administer federally-funded welfare and unemployment compensation programs.
Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, data gathered as part of the wage reporting system may be used for purposes of evaluating employment and earnings outcomes of programs within the Massachusetts workforce development system. The commissioner may provide access to data gathered as part of the wage reporting and financial institution match system for research and statistical purposes relating to administration of the tax laws, public assistance programs of the commonwealth or any political subdivision thereof or their respective agencies, workers’ compensation laws or the child support enforcement program of the commonwealth; but, the data shall be released without personal identifiers. The department of revenue may share wage reporting data with the division of unemployment assistance, the division of career services and the department of education in the performance of their official duties.
Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the commissioner may disclose any information referred to in this chapter to the division of unemployment assistance, the division of insurance and the division of health care finance and policy under an interagency agreement for purposes of the administration and enforcement of sections 34 to 39, inclusive, of chapter 118G and sections 6B, 6C and 18B of chapter 118G and for the administration of the fair share employer contribution requirement under section 188 of chapter 149.
