Privacy Act Notice
Marital Relationship Questionnaire

Section 216(h), of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorizes us to collect this information.
We will use this information to make a determination on your claim.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failure to provide all or part of the
information could prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision on your benefit
eligibility.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for making a determination
relating to benefit eligibility. 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 (e.g., to the Bureau of the
Census and private concerns under contract to Social Security).
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 Systems of Records Notices
entitled, Claims Folder Record, 60-0089 and Master Beneficiary Record, 60-0090. These notices,
additional information regarding this form, and information regarding our programs and systems,
are available on-line at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.
