Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal Information

Sections 202(d) and 205(a) 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 an accurate and timely decision on your claim.

We will use the information to verify your school attendance and eligibility for student benefits. We may also share your information for the following purposes, called routine uses:

• To the Department of State, for administration of the Social Security Act in foreign countries through services and facilities of that agency; and

• To claimants, prospective claimants (other than the data subject), and their authorized representatives or representative payees, to the extent necessary to pursue Social Security claims; to representative payees, when the information pertains to individuals for whom they serve as representative payees, for the purpose of assisting us in administering representative payment responsibilities under the Social Security Act; and to representative payees, for the purpose of assisting them in performing their duties as payees, including receiving and accounting for benefits for individuals for whom they serve as payees.

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 System, as published in the Federal Register (FR) on October 31, 2019, at 84 FR 58422. Additional information, and a full listing of all our SORNs, is available on our website at www.ssa.gov/privacy.
