Privacy Act Statement: Section 223 and section 1633 of the Social Security Act authorize the
information requested on this form. The information provided will be used in making a decision on this
claim. Completion of this form is mandatory in disability claims involving mental impairments. Failure
to complete this form may result in a delay in processing the claim. Information furnished on this form

Many agencies may use matching programs to find or prove that a person qualifies for benefits paid
