We are required by section 205(j) and 205(a) of the Social Security Act to ask you to give us the information on this
form. This information is needed to determine if you are qualified to serve as representative payee. Although responses
to these questions are voluntary, you will not be named representative payee unless you give us the answers to these questions.
Sometimes the law requires us to give out the facts on this form without your consent. We must release this
information to another person or government agency if Federal law requires that we do so or to do the research and audits needed to administer or improve our representative payee program.
We may also use the information you give us when we match records by computer. Matching programs compare our
records with those of other Federal, state or local government agencies. Many agencies may use matching programs to
find or prove that a person qualifies for benefits paid by the Federal government. The law allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it.
Explanation about these and other reasons why information you provide us may be used or given out are available in
Social Security offices. If you want to learn more about this, contact any Social Security office. Paperwork Reduction Act Statement - This information collection meets the requirements of 44 U.S.C. § 3507, as
