The Social Security Administration is authorized to collect the
information on this form under sections 205(a), 223(d) and 1631(e)(1)
of the Social Security Act. The information on this form is needed by
Social Security to make a decision on the named claimant's claim. While
giving us the information on this form is voluntary, failure to provide all
or part of the requested information could prevent an accurate or timely
decision on the named claimant's claim. Although the information you
furnish is almost never used for any purpose other than making a
determination about the claimant's disability, such information may be
disclosed by the Social Security Administration as follows: (1) to enable
a third party or 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 the Department of
Veterans Affairs); and (3) to facilitate statistical research and such
activities necessary to assure the integrity and improvement of the
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 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 20 minutes to read
the instructions, gather the facts, and answer the questions. SEND OR
BRING THE COMPLETED FORM TO YOUR LOCAL SOCIAL
SECURITY OFFICE. The office is listed under U. S. Government
agencies in your telephone directory or you may call Social Security
at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). You may send comments on

MD 21235-6401. Send only comments relating to our time estimate to
this address, not the completed form.

Revised Privacy Act Statement
Sections 1614 and 1631(e)(1), of the Social Security Act, as amended, and 20 CFR 416.924(a),
authorize us to collect this information. We will use the information you provide on behalf of the
child to determine his or her eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments based
on disability.
Furnishing us the information is voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part of the
requested information may prevent our making an accurate and timely decision on the claim.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than to make a decision
regarding the child’s eligibility for SSI payments. However, we may use it for the administration
and integrity of our programs. We may also disclose the information to another person or to
another agency in accordance with approved routine uses, including but not limited to the
following:
1. To enable a third party or an agency to assist us in establishing rights to our benefits and
coverage;
2

To comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from our 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, and investigatory activities necessary to ensure the
integrity and improvement of our programs (e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and to
private entities under contract with us).
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. We use the information from these programs to establish or verify a person's eligibility
for federally funded and administered benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect payments
or delinquent debts under these programs.
A complete list of routine uses of this information is available in our Privacy Act System of
Records Notice 60-0089, entitled, Claims Folders Systems. Additional information about this
and other system of records notices and our programs is available on-line at
www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.
