The Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PARIS) is a computer data matching and information exchange system administered by the Department of Health and Human Services and Administration for Children and Families (ACF). This system provides States with a tool to improve program integrity in administering Economic Assistance and Health Care Coverage Programs. PARIS is designed to match State enrollment data from TANF, SNAP and Health Care Coverage Programs with data from other participating States and from a selected group of Federal databases.

 

There are three matches currently received through the PARIS Match:

 

• The Interstate Match

 

• The Veterans Administration (VA) Match

 

• The Federal Match

 

Hits from these matches will appear on the Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PUAR) screen in TECS and the worker will receive an alert in TECS or Vision.
