PAPERWORK/PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Sections 1611(c), 1612(a)(1), and 1631(e)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorize us to
collect the information on this form. The information you provide will help us verify wages or resolve
wage discrepancies for the individual named on this form. Your response is voluntary. However,
failure to provide the requested information may prevent an accurate and timely decision on any claim
filed or could result in the loss of benefits.
We rarely use the information provided on this form for any purpose other than for verifying wages or
resolving wage discrepancies. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, however, we
may disclose the information provided on this form 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 Social Security
benefits and/or coverage;
2. To make determinations for eligibility in similar health and income maintenance programs at the
Federal, state and local level;
3. To comply with Federal laws requiring the disclosure of the information from our records; and
4. To facilitate statistical research, audit or investigative activities necessary to assure the integrity of
SSA programs.
We may also use the information you provide when we match records by computer. Computer matching
programs compare our records with those of 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 or administered benefit programs and 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.
Additional information regarding this form, routine uses of information, and other Social Security
programs are available from our Internet website at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social
Security office.

on the back of this page and any additional pages. Base these amounts on actual paydays in the
month, not the ending dates of pay periods. For example, wages earned in a pay period ending
on May 29 but actually paid on June 5 would be included in the total gross wages paid in June. If
no wages were paid to the employee in a month that is checked, please show "none."

Be sure to include in gross wages:

Deductions
Please also provide the amount of any cafeteria plan deductions, garnished child support, or
