Privacy Act Statement - Application for Lump-Sum Death Payment
Section 202(i) of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorizes us to collect this information. We will use the
information you provide to determine your eligibility for the lump-sum death payment and to determine if we need
additional information.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the information may
prevent an accurate and timely decision on any claim filed, or could result in the loss of benefits.
We rarely use the information you supply us for any purpose other than to make a determination regarding your
eligibility for lump-sum death payment and to authorize payments to the widow, widower, or children of the deceased
beneficiary. 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 agency to assist in establishing rights to Social Security benefits and/or 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, or investigative 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 also may use the information you give us in computer matching programs. Matching programs compare our
records with records kept by other Federal, State and local government agencies. We use the information from these
programs 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.
A complete list of routine uses of the information you provided us is available in our Systems of Records Notice
entitled, Claims Folder System, 60-0089. Additional information about this and other system of records notices and
our programs are available online at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social Security office.
