Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part of the

We will use the information you provide to determine if you are subject to United States social
security coverage and taxation. We may also share your information for the following purposes,
called routine uses:
•

To the Social Security Administration of a foreign country, to carry out the purpose of an
international Social Security agreement entered into between the United States and the
other country, pursuant to section 233 of the Social Security Act; and

•

To any source that has, or is expected to have to have, information that the Social
Security Administration needs in order to establish or verify a person’s coverage under a
Social Security agreement authorized by section 233 of the Social Security Act.

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.
