Privacy Act Statement
Sections 205(j) and 1631(a) of the Social Security Act allow us to collect the information
requested on this form. The information you provide will allow the Social Security
Administration to monitor the performance of your representative payee. You do not have to
give us this information. However, without the information, we will not be able to determine
the performance of your payee and payment of your benefits may be affected.
Sometimes the law requires us to give out the facts you provide during this interview without
your consent. We must release this information to another person or government agency if
Federal law requires that we do so or to do the research and audit needed to administer or
improve our representative payment program.
We may also use this information when we match records by computer. Matching programs
compare our records with those of other Federal, State, or local government agencies. Many
agencies may use matching programs to find or prove that a person qualifies for benefits paid
by the Federal government. The law allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it.
Explanations about these and other reasons why information you provide may be used or given
out are available in Social Security offices. If you want to learn more about this, contact any
Social Security office.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement - This information collection meets the requirements of
44 U.S.C. § 3507, as amended by section 2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You do
not need to answer these questions unless we display a valid Office of Management and
Budget control number. We estimate that it will take about 10 minutes to read the instructions,
gather the facts, and answer the questions. You may send comments on our time estimate above
to: SSA, 6401 Security Blvd, Baltimore, MD 21235-6401. Send only comments relating to
our time estimate to this address, not the completed form.
