Revisions to the Collection Instrument

SSA is making the following revisions:

• Change #1: We are removing reference to the Privacy Act Statement on page 2 of these forms and revising the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) statement, and replacing it with the following language:

The Social Security Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act authorize us to collect this information. We will use the information you provide to determine eligibility to access Government Services Online (GSO).

The information you furnish on this form is voluntary. However, failure to provide the requested information may prevent us from granting access to GSO.

We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for determining eligibility for access. 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 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);

2. To facilitate investigative and audit activities necessary to assure the integrity 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.

Additional information regarding this form, routine uses of information, and our programs and systems, is available on-line at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.

Justification #1: Our Office of the General Council advised us to remove the Privacy Act Statement from these forms as we do not collect personal information, nor do we maintain the information we collect on these forms.

We will implement this change upon OMB’s approval of this information collection request.
