you provide to continue processing your claim. The information you provide on this form is
voluntary. However, failure to provide all or part of the requested information could prevent us
from making an accurate and timely decision on your claim.
We rarely use the information you provide on this form for any purpose other than for the
reasons explained above. However, we may use it for the administration and integrity of Social
Security programs. We may also disclose information to another person or to another agency in
accordance with approved routine uses, which include but are not limited to the following:
1. To enable a third party or an agency to assist Social Security in establishing rights to the
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, General Services Administration,
National Archives Records Administration, and the Department of Veterans Affairs);
3. To make determinations for eligibility in similar health and income maintenance
programs at the Federal, State, and local level; and
4. To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigate activities necessary to assure the
integrity of Social Security programs.
We may also use the information you provide in computer matching programs. Matching
programs compare our records with records kept by other Federal, State, or local government
agencies. Information from these matching programs can be used to establish or verify a
person's eligibility for Federally-funded and administered benefit programs for repayment of
payments or delinquent debts under these programs. The law allows us to do this even if you do
not agree to it.
