Privacy Act Notice: Sections 1614 and 1633 of the Social Security Act, as amended, and Social Security regulations at
20 C.F.R. §§ 416.931, 416.926a(m)(6) and 416.924 authorize us to collect this information. The information is needed
to determine benefit eligibility of the named claimant. The information you furnish on this form is voluntary. However,
failure to provide all or part of the information could prevent an accurate and timely decision on benefit eligibility of the
named claimant.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for establishing benefit eligibility. 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: (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 Veteran Affairs); (3) to make determinations for eligibility in
similar health and income maintenance programs at the Federal, State, and local level; (4) to State agencies or other
agencies providing services to disabled children; and (5) to facilitate statistical research, audit or investigative 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 and for
repayment of payments or delinquent debts under these programs.
A complete list of routine uses for this information is available in System of Records Notice 60-0103 (Supplemental
Security Income Record and Special Veterans Benefits). The notice, additional information regarding this form, and
information regarding our programs and systems, are available on-line at www.ssa.gov or at your local Social Security
office.

To contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting the
