Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Sections 808 and 810 of the Social Security Act, as amended, and P.L. 106-109, authorize us to collect this
information. We will use the information you provide to determine if you are entitled to Special Veteran's
Benefits.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part of this information could
prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision on your claim, and could result in the loss of some
payments.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for determining your entitlement to
Special Veterans Benefits. However, we may use it for the administration and integrity of our programs. We
may also disclose information to another person or to another agency in accordance with approved routine
uses, which include but are not limited to the following:
1. To enable a third party or an agency to assist us in establishing rights to Social Security benefits
and/or coverage.
2. To comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from our records (e.g., to the
Government Accountability Office and Department of Veterans Affairs);
3. To make determinations for eligibility in similar health and income maintenance programs at the
Federal, State, and local level; and,
4. To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigative activities necessary to assure the integrity
and improvement of Social Security programs. (e.g., to the Bureau of Census and to private
entities under contract with us).
We may also use the information you provide in computer matching programs. Matching programs compare
our records with records kept by other Federal, State, or local government agencies. We use the information
from these programs to establish or verify a person's eligibility for federally funded or administered benefit
programs and for repayment of incorrect payments or delinquent debts under these programs.
A complete list of routine uses for this information is available in our Privacy Act Systems of Records
Notices entitled, Supplemental Security Income Record and Special Veterans Benefits, 06-0103, and Social
Security Title VIII Special Veterans Benefits Claims Development and Management Information System,
60-0273. Additional information regarding these and other systems of records notices, are available on-line
at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.
