Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Sections 1614 and 1631(e)(1), of the Social Security Act, as amended, and 20 CFR 416.924(a),
authorize us to collect this information. We will use the information you provide on behalf of the child
to determine his or her eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments based
on disability.
Furnishing us the information is voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part of the requested
information may prevent our making an accurate and timely decision on the claim.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than to make a decision
regarding the child's eligibility for SSI payments. However, we may use it for the administration
and integrity of our programs. We may also disclose the information to another person or to another
agency in accordance with approved routine uses, including but not limited to the following:
1. To enable a third party or an agency to assist us in establishing rights to our benefits
and coverage;
2. 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);
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, and investigatory 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).
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. We use the information from these programs to establish or verify a person’s
eligibility for federally funded and administered benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect
payment’s or delinquent debts under these programs.
A complete list of routine uses of this information is available in our Privacy Act System of
Records Notice 60-0089, entitled, Claims Folders Systems. Additional information about this
and other system of records notices and our programs is available on-line
at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement - 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 20 minutes to read the instructions, gather the facts, and
answer the questions. SEND THE COMPLETED FORM TO YOUR LOCAL SOCIAL SECURITY
OFFICE. The office is listed under U. S. Government agencies in your telephone directory or
you may call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). You may send comments
