the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3325(d), 7701(c)(1); the Government Performance and Results Act, Pub. L. No. 103-62, as

under a Presidentially-declared disaster. Additionally, information may be reviewed internally within FEMA for quality assurance purposes and used to
assess FEMA's customer service to disaster assistance applicants. FEMA collects the social security number (SSN) to verify an applicant's identity and
to prevent a duplication of benefits.
ROUTINE USE(S): FEMA may share the personal information of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents contained in their disaster assistance files
outside of FEMA as generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. § 552a(b) of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. FEMA may share the personal information of

16, 2012); DHS/FEMA/PIA-027 National Emergency Management Information System - Individual Assistance (NEMIS-IA) Web-based and Client-based
Modules (June 29, 2012); DHS/FEMA/PIA-015 Quality Assurance Recording System (Aug. 15, 2014). This includes sharing your personal information
with federal, state, tribal, local agencies and voluntary organizations to enable individuals to receive additional disaster assistance, to prevent duplicating
your benefits, or for FEMA to recover disaster funds received erroneously, spent inappropriately, or through fraud as necessary and authorized by
routine uses published in DHS/FEMA-008 Disaster Recovery Assistance Files Notice of System of Records, 78 Fed. Reg. 25,282 (Apr.30, 2013) and
upon written request, by agreement or as required by law.
CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION: The disclosure of information, including the SSN, on this form is voluntary; however,
failure to provide the information requested may delay or prevent the individual from receiving disaster assistance.
