Sections 205(a), 223(d), and 1631(e)(1), of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorize us to
collect this information. We will use the information you provide on behalf of the minor child to
determine his or her benefit eligibility.
Furnishing us the information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the
requested information may prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision on the claim.
We rarely use the information for any purpose other than for making a decision regarding
entitlements to benefits. However, we may use it for the administration and integrity of our programs.
We may also disclose the information to another person or to another agency in accordance with
approved routine uses, including but not limited to the following:
1. To enable a third party or an agency to assist us in establishing rights to our benefits and
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, and investigatory activities necessary to assure the
integrity and improvement of our programs (e.g., to the Bureau of the 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 and administered benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect payment’s or delinquent
debts under these programs.
