Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Sections 205(a), 221(i), 223(d), 1614(a)(4), 1631(e)(1), and 1633(a) and (c) of the Social
Security Act, as amended, allow us to collect this information. Furnishing us this information is
voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part of the information may prevent us from
making an accurate and timely decision on any claim filed.
We will use the information to make a determination of continued eligibility for benefits. We
may also share your information for the following purposes, called routine uses:
1. To private medical and vocational consultants for use in making preparation for, or
evaluating the results of, consultative medical examinations or vocational assessments
which they were engaged to perform by the Social Security Administration (SSA) or
a State agency acting in accord with sections 221 or 1633 of the Act; and
2. To contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting
SSA in the efficient administration of its programs. We contemplate disclosing
information under this routine use only in situations in which SSA may enter a
contractual agreement with a third party to assist in accomplishing an agency function
relating to this system of records.
In addition, we may share this information in accordance with the Privacy Act and other Federal
laws. For example, where authorized, we may use and disclose this information in computer
matching programs, in which our records are compared with other records to establish or verify a
person’s eligibility for Federal benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect or delinquent
debts under these programs.
A list of additional routine uses is available in our Privacy Act System of Records Notice
(SORN) 60-0089, entitled Claims Folders Systems. Additional information and a full listing of
all our SORNs are available on our website at www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook.
