following purposes, called routine uses:
• To applicants, claimants, prospective applicants or claimants, other than the data subject, their
authorized representatives or representative payees to the extent necessary to pursue Social

assisting the representative payees in performing their duties as payees, including receiving and
accounting for benefits for individuals for whom they serve as payees; and
• To Federal, State, or local agencies (or agents on their behalf) for administering cash or non-cash
income maintenance or health maintenance programs (including programs under the 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.
