Privacy Notice for Collection of Information
Sections 44 U.S.C. §�3554, 42 U.S.C. § 1306, and 20 C.F.R. § 401.145 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 sharing SSA data via an information exchange agreement (IEA).
We will use the information you provide to conduct a compliance review. We may also share your
information for the following purposes, called routine uses:
· To students volunteers, individuals working under a personal services contract, and other workers
who technically do not have the status of Federal employees, when they are performing work for the
Social Security Administration (SSA), as authorized by law, and they need access to personally
identifiable information in SSA records in order to perform their assigned agency functions; and
· To contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting the SSA in the
efficient administration of its programs. We will disclose information under this routine use only in
situations in which SSA may enter a contractual or similar 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.
Additional information, and a full listing of all of SSA systems of records and approved routine uses, is
available at www.ssa.gov/privacy.
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 (OMB) control number. We estimate
that it will take about 20 minutes to read the instructions, gather the facts, and answer the questions. Send
only comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection, including
suggestions for reducing this burden to: SSA, 6401 Security Blvd, Baltimore, MD 21235-6401
