PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
See Revised Privacy Act and
Collection and Use of Personal Information PRA Statements attached.
Sections 203 and 205 of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorize us to collect this information.
We will use the information you provide to determine applicable work deductions.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the
information may prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision on your benefits.
We rarely use the information you supply us for any purpose other than to determine continued
eligibility of Social Security benefits. However, we may use the information for the administration of
our programs including sharing information:
1. 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); and,
2. To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigative 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).
A complete list of when we may share your information with others, called routine uses, is available in
our Privacy Act System of Records Notices 60-0059, entitled, Earnings Recording and
Self-Employment Income System and 60-0089, entitled, Claims Folders Systems. Additional
information about these and other system of records notices and our programs are available online at
www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.
We may share the information you provide to other health agencies through 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 or administered benefit programs and for repayment of
incorrect payments or delinquent debts under these programs.
PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT: This information collection meets the clearance requirements of
44 U.S.C. §3507, as amended by Section 2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You are not
required to answer these questions unless we display a valid Office of Management and Budget
control number. We estimate that it will take you about 12 minutes to read the instructions, gather the
necessary facts and answer the questions.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS USED IN THIS QUESTIONNAIRE
1. United States - Include the 50 States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam, and American Samoa.
2. Resident - You are a resident of a country if you make your temporary or permanent home there.
(Visiting as a tourist, or on a short business trip, does not establish residence in a country. But going
into a country, setting up permanent quarters there for yourself and your family, and settling down in
the community generally make you a resident of that country even though you intend to return
eventually to another country which you consider to be your permanent home.)
