Act you provide
Section 215 of the Social Security Act, as amended, allows us to collect this information. We will usePrivacy
the information
to make a determination on the effect of your pension on your Social Security benefit. Furnishing usStatement
this information is voluntary.

However, failing to provide us with all or part of the information may not allow us to make a correct determination regarding your
claim and could affect your Social Security benefit. We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for of
your pension on your Social Security benefit. 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 assure 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 Notice 60-0090, entitled, Master Beneficiary Record. Additional information
about this and other system of records notices and our programs are available from our Internet website 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.

based on employment after 1956 not covered by Social Security and a Social Security retirement or disability insurance
benefit. The difference in your Social Security benefit computed under the modified formula, rather than the regular
benefit formula, cannot be greater than one-half the amount of the pension or annuity you received in the first month
you are entitled to both the pension or annuity and the Social Security benefit.
1. Enter the name and address of the agency or organization from which the pension or annuity is received or is expected to be
