Sections 205(a) (42 U.S.C. 405 (a)), 702 (42 U.S.C. 902), 1631(e) (1) (A), and; (B) (42 U.S.C. 1383(e) (1) (A)
and (B)), 1839(i) (42 U.S.C. 1395r), 1869(b) (1), and (c) (42 U.S.C. 1395ff) of the Social Security Act, as
amended, authorize us to collect this information. We will use the information you provide to continue
processing your claim.
Providing this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the requested
information may prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision on your claim.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for determining problems in Social
Security programs. 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 the 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 investigate 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.
A complete list of routine uses for this information is available in System of Records Notices 60-0089, Claims
Folder System and 60-0050, Completed Determination-Continuing Disability Determinations. These notices,
additional information regarding this form, and information regarding our programs and systems, are available
on-line at www.socialsecurity.gov or any local Social Security office.

3507, as amended by Section 2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You do not need to answer these

take about 10 minutes to read the instructions, gather the facts, and answer the questions.
