Authorization for SSA to Obtain Account Records From A Financial Institution And Request For Records

SSA collects and verifies financial account information from individuals requesting a waiver of their Title II and Title XVI overpayments, as well as those who apply for, or currently receive (in the case of redetermination) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We require financial information from these individual’s to: (1) determine the eligibility of the applicant or recipient for SSI benefits; or (2) determine if a request to waive a Social Security overpayment defeats the purpose of the Act. If an individual provides incomplete or seemingly altered records, or if records are unavailable, SSA contacts his or her financial institutions to verify the existence; ownership; and value of accounts owned. Financial institutions need individuals to sign Form SSA-4641-F4, or contact SSA and use the Internet version, e4641, to authorize them to disclose the individual’s records to SSA. The respondents are Title II and Title XVI recipients applying for waivers, or SSI applicants, recipients, and their deemors to determine SSI eligibility.
