Title 5 U.S.C. sections 205(a) and 1631(e), and Executive Order 9397, as amended, authorize us to collect this information. We will use the information you provide to determine eligibility for Supplemental Security Income.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failure to provide all or part of the information could prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision on Supplemental Security Income benefits.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for making a determination relating to Supplemental Security Income benefits. 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:
To enable a third party or an agency to assist Social Security in establishing rights to Social Security benefits and/or coverage;
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);
To make determinations for eligibility in similar health and income maintenance programs at the Federal, State, and local level; and,
To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigative activities necessary to assure the integrity and improvement of 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 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.
A complete list of routine uses for this information is available in Systems of Records Notice entitled, Supplemental Security Income Record, 60-0103.
