HOW TO REPORT
There are three ways to report:
(Area Code)
NOTE: REMEMBER TO TELL US WHEN YOU MOVE,
EVEN IF YOUR MAILING ADDRESS FOR
CHECKS HAS NOT CHANGED.
If you do not report changes in your circumstances, you
may not be paid some, or all, of the benefits due you. Or,
you may be overpaid, in which case, you will have to pay
back any benefits you received that were not due you.
If you hide or do not report a change with the intent to
fraudulently get more benefits or benefits not due you,
you may be fined, imprisoned, or both per Section 208 of
the Social Security Act.
FAILURE TO REPORT
The information you give on this form will be used to
determine if you are still eligible for Social Security
benefits and to make sure the amount of your benefit is
correct. Under certain limited conditions authorized by
law or regulation, Social Security may disclose this
information to another individual or government agency
in order to:
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
assist Social Security in establishing the right of an
individual to Social Security benefits and/or the
amount of the benefits;
facilitate statistical research and audit activities
necessary to assure the integrity and improvement of
the programs administered by Social Security; and
comply with Federal laws requiring the exchange of
information between Social Security and another
agency (such as the General Accounting Office and
the Veterans Administration).
We may also use the information you give us when we
match records by computer. Matching programs compare
our records with those of other Federal, State, and local
government agencies. Many agencies may use matching
programs to find or prove that a person qualifies for
benefits paid by the Federal government. The law allows
us to do this even if you do not agree to it.
Explanations about these and other reasons why
information you provide us may be used or given out are
available in Social Security offices. If you want to learn
more about this, contact any Social Security office.
Use this form only when there is a change to report to Social Security
