General: This information is provided pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (P.O. 93-579) for PHS commissioned officers
applying for ESCCP.
Authority for Collection of Information: 37 U.S.C. 301d (Pay and Allowances of the Uniformed Services); 42 U.S.C. 26 et
seq. (PHS Act, Sec. 201 et seq.); and Executive Order 9397 (Numbering System for Federal Accounts Relating to Individual
Persons).
Purposes and Uses: The principal purpose for collecting this information is to determine your eligibility for ESCCP. If you are
selected for award of ESCCP, the information collected will be used for issuance of personnel orders to authorize payment.
These records, or information therefrom, may also be provided to other Federal Agencies to which PHS officers are assigned.
The information also may be used for study purposes and/or collection of statistical data for reports to other Federal Agencies
and the Congress. It may also be used for other lawful purposes including collection of a debt owed the Federal Government,
law enforcement, and litigation.
Information Regarding Disclosure of Your Social Security Number (SSN): Disclosure of the SSN is mandatory under
provisions of the Social Security Act, since PHS officers are under Social Security "covered employment" and taxes must be
withheld from their salaries. The SSN is also used as an identifier throughout an officer’s career. It is primarily to identify an
officer’s personnel, leave, and pay records and to relate one to the other. The SSN is also used in connection with lawful
requests from PHS for information from former employers, educational institutions, financial or other organizations. The
information gathered through the use of the SSN will be used only as necessary in personnel administration processes carried
out in accordance with established regulations and public notices of systems of records. The use of the SSN is made
necessary because of the large number of present and former active, inactive, and retired officers and applicants who have
identical names and birth dates, and whose identification can only be distinguished by the SSN.
Effect of Nondisclosure: You are required to provide the information requested on the contract to receive ESCCP. Failure to
supply complete and accurate information may result in delays and/or errors in determining eligibility and, therefore, result in
late payment or nonpayment, or be cause for refund of pay if you receive an award based on erroneous information. All
statements are subject to verification.
