determine his or her benefit eligibility.
Furnishing us the information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the

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.

approved routine uses, including but not limited to the following:

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.
