All questions must be answered or marked "Unknown." If you need more space for answers, continue them under "Remarks"
on reverse side.
PRIVACY ACT NOTICE: The Social Security Administration (SSA) is authorized to collect the information on this form under section 216(h)(1)(A) of the Social
Security Act. Giving us this information is voluntary. You do not have to do it, but your cooperation is needed to help establish the applicant's eligibility to
Social Security benefits. SSA will use the information on this form to determine if a marital relationship exists so that an accurate determination may be made
regarding entitlement to spouse's benefits. While the information you furnish on this form would almost never be used for any purpose other than the intended
use of this form, such information may be disclosed by SSA as generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This
includes using the information as necessary for administrative purposes or as authorized by routine uses in the applicable Privacy Act system of records.
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 possible reasons why information you provide us may be used or provided to other agencies are available upon request from 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 9 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.
