PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT

The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a) requires us to provide certain facts to each person from whom we
request and collect information in order to administer our programs. These facts include:
• the statutory authority for the request;
• why we need the information;
• whether it is voluntary or mandatory for you to give us the information and the effects, if any, of not
giving us the information; and
• the uses we may make of the information you give us.
The following sections explain our collection, use, and disclosure of the information you give us. If you have
any questions about your rights and responsibilities under the Privacy Act, you may contact any local Social
Security office.
Our authority to collect information
Our specific authority to collect information is found

of income distribution and maintenance.

Is providing information voluntary or

It is not mandatory for you to give us the
information we request except in certain instances
explained below. It is usually to your advantage to

investigative activities necessary to assure
the integrity of our programs.

We may also use the information you give us when

matching programs compare our records with those
of other Federal, State, or local government
agencies. We use the information from these
matching programs 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.
A complete list of routine uses of the information
