use the information you provide to determine if you and your dependents are eligible for insurance coverage
or monthly benefits.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part of the information may
prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision on the claim.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than what we state above, however, we may
use the information for the administration of our programs, including sharing information:
1. 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); and,
2. To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigative activities necessary to ensure 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. Information
from these matching programs can be used 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.
