Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal information
Sections 205(a) and 223(d) of the Social Security Act, as amended, allow us to collect this information.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part of the information may
prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision on any claim filed or could result in the loss of
benefits.
We will use the information to verify wages or resolve wage discrepancies, and evaluate and determine if the
individual named on this form meets eligibility requirements for benefits. We may also share your information
for the following purposes, called routine uses:
1. To employers or former employers, including State Social Security administrators, for correcting and
reconstructing State employee earnings records and for Social Security purposes; and
2. To third party contacts (e.g., employers and private pension plan) in situations where the party to be
contacted has, or is expected to have, information relating to the individual’s capability to manage affairs or
eligibility for or entitlement to benefits under the Social Security program when the data are needed to
establish the validity of evidence or to verify the accuracy of information presented by the individual, and it
concerns the individual’s eligibility for benefits under the Social Security program.
In addition, we may share this information in accordance with the Privacy Act and other Federal laws. For
example, where authorized, we may use and disclose this information in computer matching programs, in
which our records are compared with other records to establish or verify a person’s eligibility for Federal
benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect or delinquent debts under these programs.
A list of additional routine uses is available in our Privacy Act System of Records Notices (SORN) 60-0059,
entitled Earnings Recording and Self-Employment Income System, 60-0089, entitled Claims Folders Systems,
and 60-0090, entitled Master Beneficiary Record. Additional information and a full listing of all our SORNs are
available on our website at www.ssa.gov/privacy/sorn.html. See Revised Privacy Act &
