Privacy Act Statement

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Sections 223(i) of the Social Security Act, as amended, allows us to collect this information.  Furnishing us this information is voluntary.  However, failing to provide all or part of the information may prevent an accurate and timely decision on your disability claim filed.

We will use the information you provide to determine your eligible for the reinstatement of your prior benefits. We may also share the information for the following purposes, called routine uses:

• To employers, current or former, for correcting or reconstructing earnings records and for Social Security tax purposes; and

• To contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting us in the efficient administration of our programs. We will disclose information under this routine use only in situations in which we may enter into a contractual or similar agreement with a third party to assisting accomplishing an agency function relating to this system of records.

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 Notices (SORN) 60-0089, entitled Claims Folders System, as published in the Federal Register (FR) on October, 31, 2019, at 84 FR 58422, and 60-0320, entitled Electronic Disability (eDIB) Claim File, as published in the FR on June 4, 2020, at 85 FR 34477.  Additional information, and a full listing of all of our SORNs, is available on our website at www.ssa.gov/privacy.
