Sections 205(b)(1), 205(d) and 1631(c) of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorize us to collect this
information. We will use the information you provide to acknowledge you will appear at your hearing with an
Administrative Law Judge.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the information
may prevent an accurate and timely decision on any claim filed.
We rarely use the information you supply us for any purpose other than to make a determination regarding
benefits eligibility. 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 Notice 60-0089, entitled Claims Folder System. Additional information about
this 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.
