Collection and Use of Personal Information
Page 3
5 U.S.C. § 8901 authorizes us to collect this information. The information you provide will be used to
determine whether your adult disabled child is eligible for health care benefits under the Federal
Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHB) beyond age 26.
The information you furnish on this form is voluntary. However, failure to provide the requested
information will result in automatic termination of benefits at age 26.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for determining your adult
disabled child's eligibility for health care benefits under the FEHB beyond age 26. However, we may
use it for the administration and integrity of Social Security 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 comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from Social Security records
(e.g., to the Government Accountability Office and Department of Veterans Affairs);
2. To facilitate audit, or investigative activities necessary to assure the integrity of the FEHB
program; and,
3. To the Department of Justice when representing the Social Security Administration in litigation.
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 payments or delinquent
debts under these programs.
Explanations about these and other reasons why information you provide us may be used or given
out are available in Systems of Records Notice 60-0238 (Pay, Leave, and Attendance Records). The
Notice, additional information about this form, and any other information regarding our systems and
programs, are available on-line at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.
