3. Section 7 of the Principal Act is amended by inserting the following
paragraph after paragraph 14 in Step 5:

"14A. If the source agency and the matching agency have agreed that this
paragraph applies, the following subparagraphs apply:

   (a)  if the matching agency thinks that any results of a payment or income
        matching appear to be results to which paragraph 15 applies, the
        matching agency gives a sample to the source agency;

   (b)  the source agency tests the sample;

   (c)  if the source agency thinks the sample may be wrong, and that the
        error may be corrected by adjusting an algorithm used by the matching
        agency, the source agency suggests the adjustment;

   (d)  the matching agency makes the adjustment and repeats the relevant
        parts of the matching;

   (e)  subject to section 9, these subparagraphs apply as often as necessary
        until the matching is complete;

   (f)  if the source agency is an assistance agency, information exchanged
        under this paragraph must not include the return of TFN data from the
        matching agency to the source agency;

   (g)  the source agency must destroy the sample as soon as practicable after
        the matching is complete.".
