Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Sections 223(d) and 1633 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 any claim filed or could result in an overpayment of benefits.
We will use the information to make a determination of eligibility for benefits. We may also share your
information for the following purposes, called routine uses:
• To employers or former employers for correcting or reconstructing earnings records and for
Social Security tax purposes only; and
• To contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting Social
Security Administration in the efficient administration of its programs.
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 Notices (SORN)
