Administrative Record Linkage

Administrative Record Linkage is a process where different government or organizational databases are connected to combine relevant information about individuals or entities. This allows agencies to share and analyze data more efficiently, such as matching unemployment claims with tax records or health data with welfare programs. The goal is to create a comprehensive, accurate picture without asking individuals to provide the same information multiple times. By linking records securely and accurately, organizations can better serve the public, improve services, and make informed policy decisions while respecting privacy and data security standards.
