• Information may be disclosed to contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting the SSA

relating to this system of records; and
• To a congressional office in response to an inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of a record.
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
