The Social Security Administration is authorized to collect the
information on this form under sections 205(a), 223(d) and 1631(e)
(1) of the Social Security Act. The information on this form is
needed by Social Security to make a decision on the named
claimant's claim. While giving us the information on this form is
voluntary, failure to provide all or part of the requested information
could prevent an accurate or timely decision on the named claimant's
claim. Although the information you furnish is almost never used for
any purpose other than making a determination about the claimant's
disability, such information may be disclosed by the Social Security
Administration as follows: (1) to enable a third party or agency to
assist Social Security in establishing rights to Social Security
benefits and/or coverage; (2) to comply with Federal Laws requiring
the release of information from Social Security records (e.g., to the
Government Accountability Office and the Department of Veterans
Affairs); and (3) to facilitate statistical research and such activities
necessary to assure the integrity and improvement of the Social
Security programs (e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and private
concerns under contract to Social Security).
We may also use the information you give us when we match
records by computer. Matching programs compare our records with
those of other Federal, State, or local government agencies. Many
agencies may use matching programs to find or prove that a person
qualifies for benefits paid by the Federal government. The law
allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it.
Explanations about these and other reasons why information you
provide us may be used or given out are available in Social Security
offices. If you want to learn more about this, contact any Social
Security office.
See Revised Paperwork Reduction Act
PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT: This information collection
meets the requirements of 44 U.S.C. § 3507, as amended by Section
2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You do not need to
answer these questions unless we display a valid Office of
Management and Budget control number. We estimate that it will
take about 15 minutes to read the instructions, gather the facts, and
answer the questions. SEND OR BRING THE COMPLETED
FORM TO YOUR LOCAL SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE. The

telephone directory or you may call Social Security at

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Sections 205(a), 223(d) and 1631(e)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorize
us to collect this information. The information you provide us on this form will be used
to make a decision on the named individual’s disability claim.
Completion of this form is voluntary; however, failure to provide all or part of the
information could prevent an accurate and timely decision on the named individual’s
claim.
We rarely use this information you supply for any purpose other than for determining
continuing eligibility. However, we may use it for the administration and integrity of
Social Security programs. We may also disclose information to another person or to
another agency in accordance with approved routine uses, which include but are not
limited to the following:
1. To enable a third party or an agency to assist Social Security in establishing rights
to Social Security benefits and/or coverage;
2. To comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from Social
Security records (e.g., to the Government Accountability Office and Department
of Veterans’ Affairs);
3. To make determinations for eligibility in similar health and income maintenance
programs at the Federal, State, and local level; and,
4. To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigative activities necessary to
assure the integrity and improvement of Social Security programs.
We may also use the information you provide in computer matching programs. Matching
programs compare our records with records kept by other Federal, State, or local
government agencies. Information from these matching programs can be used to
establish or verify a person’s eligibility for Federally-funded or administered benefit
programs and for repayment of payments or delinquent debts under these programs.
Additional information regarding this form, routine uses of information, and our
programs and systems, is available on-line at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local
