Collection and Use of Personal Information
Section 205 of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorizes us to collect this information. We will
use the information you provide on this form to obtain information from another individual,
organization, or agency regarding your Social Security benefits.
Completion of this form is voluntary; however, failure to provide all or part of the information could
prevent us from correctly reviewing your Social Security benefits.
We rarely use this information you supply for any purpose other than for reviewing your claim for
Social Security benefits. 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 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 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 investigative activities necessary to assure the
integrity and improvement 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 or administered benefit programs and for repayment of payments or delinquent
debts under these programs.
Additional information regarding this form, routine uses of information, and our programs and
systems is available on-line at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.
