Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Sections 1614(a)(3), 1631(a)(4), 1631(e)(1), and 1633 of the Social Security Act, as amended, allow us to collect
this information. We will use the information you provide to make a determination on the named individual’s disability
claim.
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).
A list of when we may share your information with others, called routine uses, is available in our Privacy Act System
of Records Notices, 60-0103, entitled Supplemental Security Income Record, and Special Veterans Benefits, and
60-0320, entitled Electronic Disability (eDIB) Claim File. Additional information about these and other system of
records notices and our programs is available from our Internet website at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local
Social Security office.
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.
