The Privacy and Paperwork Reduction Acts
The Social Security Administration is authorized to collect the information on this form under
sections 205(a), 223(d) and 1631(e)(1) of the Social Security Act. The information on this form is
needed by Social Security to make a decision on the named claimant's claim. While giving us the
information on this form is voluntary, failure to provide all or part of the requested information could
prevent an accurate or timely decision on the named claimant's claim. Although the information you
furnish is almost never used for any purpose other than making a determination about the claimant's
disability, such information may be disclosed by the Social Security Administration as follows: (1) to
enable a third party or agency to assist Social Security in establishing rights to Social Security
benefits and/or coverage; (2) to comply with Federal Laws requiring the release of information from
Social Security records (e.g., to the Government Accountability Office and the Department of
Veterans Affairs); and (3) to facilitate statistical research and such activities necessary to assure the
integrity and improvement of the Social Security programs (e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and
private concerns under contract to Social Security).
We may also use the information you give us 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 us 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: 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 60 minutes to read the instructions, gather the facts, and
answer the questions. SEND OR BRING THE COMPLETED FORM TO YOUR LOCAL
SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE. The office is listed under U. S. Government agencies in your
telephone directory or you may call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
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.
