Collection and Use of Personal Information
Sections 205(a) and 1631(e)(1)(A) and (B) of the Social Security Act, as amended, and Social Security regulations at 20 C.F.R.
404.1589 and 416.989 authorize us to collect this information. We will use the information you provide to further document your
claim and permit a determination about continuing disability.
The information you furnish on this report is voluntary. However, failure to provide us with the requested information could prevent
us from making an accurate and timely decision on your claim.
We rarely use this information you supply for any purpose other than for reviewing your claim for Social Security 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:
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.
A complete list of routine uses for this information are available in our Systems of Records Notices entitled, Claims Folders Systems
(60-0089) and the Master Beneficiary Record (60-0090). These notices, additional information regarding this form, routine uses of
information, and our programs and systems are available on-line at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.
