THE PRIVACY ACT
Section 205(a) of the Social Security Act allows us to ask for the information on
this letter. The information you give us will be used to give you credit for
earnings reported. You do not have to give us this information. However, without
the information we may not be able to give you credit for wages earned. We may
give this information to the Internal Revenue Service for tax administration
purposes or to the Department of Justice for investigating and prosecuting
violations of the Social Security Act.
We may also use the information you give us when we match records by computer.
Matching programs compare our records with those of other Federal, State or local
government agencies. Many agencies may use matching programs to find or prove
that a person qualifies for benefits paid by the Federal government. The law
allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it. Explanations about these and
other reasons why information you provide us may be used or given out are
available in Social Security offices. If you want to learn more about this, contact
any Social Security office.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT
This information collection meets the requirements of 44 U.S.C. § 3507, as amended
by section 2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You do not need to answer
these questions unless we display a valid Office of Management and Budget control
number. We estimate that it will take about 10 minutes to read the instructions,
gather the facts, and answer the questions. You may send comments on our time
estimate above to: SSA, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 21235-6401. Send only

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Section 205(a) of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorizes us to collect this
information. We will use this information to give you credit for earnings reported.
Completion of this form is voluntary; however, without the information we may not be
able to give you credit for wages earned.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than what is stated
above. However, we may use it for the administration and integrity of Social Security
programs. We may also disclose information to another person or to another agency in
accordance with approved routine uses, which include but are not limited to the
following:
1. To enable a third party or an agency to assist Social Security in establishing rights
to Social Security benefits and/or coverage;
2. To comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from Social
Security records (e.g., to the Government Accountability Office and Department
of Veterans’ Affairs);
3. To make determinations for eligibility in similar health and income maintenance
programs at the Federal, State, and local level; and,
4. To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigative activities necessary to
assure the integrity and improvement of Social Security programs.
We may also use the information you provide in computer matching programs. Matching
programs compare our records with records kept by other Federal, State, or local
government agencies. Information from these matching programs can be used to
establish or verify a person’s eligibility for Federally-funded or administered benefit
programs and for repayment of payments or delinquent debts under these programs.
A complete list of routine uses for this information is available in our System of Records
Notices entitled, Earnings Recording and Self-Employment Income System (60-0059).
This notice, additional information regarding this form, routine uses of information, and
our programs and systems are available on-line at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your
local Social Security office.
