Collection and Use of Personal Information

Section 204 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 404), as amended, authorizes us to collect this
information. We will use the information you provide to assist us in correcting or adjusting payments.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the
information could prevent us from making an accurate decision on payments.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than the reason 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 (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.
