See Revised Privacy Act Statement Attached

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended), 29 U.S.C. §§ 701 et seq., and
Section 205(a) of the Social Security Act (as amended), 42 U.S.C. § 405(a),
authorize us to collect this information. The information is needed to verify
your identity and to process your request for a notice accommodation.
Providing this information is voluntary. However, failure to provide all or
part of the requested information may prevent the Social Security
Administration from processing your request.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for
verifying identity and processing your notice accommodation request.
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: (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 Veteran 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 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 and administered benefit
programs and for repayment of payments or delinquent debts under
these programs.
Our notices, additional information regarding this application, and
information regarding our programs and systems, are available on-line
at www.socialsecurity.2ov or at your local Social Security office.

Collection and Use of Personal Information
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 allows us to collect this information. Furnishing
us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part of the information may
prevent us from providing you with the accommodation you are requesting.
We will use the information to process your request for reasonable accommodation. We may
also share your information for the following purposes, called routine uses:

• To contractors and Federal, State, or local agencies, as necessary, to assist Social Security
Administration (SSA) in providing accommodations to members of the public seeking
access to our programs and activities, in compliance with Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. We will disclose information under this routine use pursuant
only to a written agreement between SSA and that contractor or agency; and

•

To Federal, State, or local agencies (or agents on their behalf) for providing
accommodations to members of the public in compliance with Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, when that agency is administering cash or non-cash income
maintenance or health maintenance programs (including programs under the Social
Security Act).

In addition, we may share this information in accordance with the Privacy Act and other Federal
laws. For example, where authorized, we may use and disclose this information in computer
matching programs, in which our records are compared with other records to establish or verify a
person’s eligibility for Federal benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect or delinquent
debts under these programs.
A list of additional routine uses is available in our Privacy Act System of Records Notice
