Information Regarding Disclosure of Your Social Security Number Under Public Law 93-579 Section 7(b) (Privacy Act of
1974)
Disclosure by you of your Social Security Number (SSN) is mandatory to obtain the services, benefits, or processes that you
are seeking. Solicitation of the SSN by the United States Department of Agriculture is authorized under provisions of
Executive Order 9397, dated November 22, 1943. The SSN is used as an identifier throughout your Federal career from the
time of application through retirement. It will be used primarily to identify your records that you file with the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. The SSN also will be used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies in connection with
lawful requests for information about you from your former employers, educational institutions, and financial or other
organizations. The information gathered through the use of the number will be used only as necessary in personnel
administration processes carried out in accordance with established regulations and published notices of systems of records.
The SSN also will be used for the selection of persons to be included in statistical studies of personnel management matters.
The use of the SSN is made necessary because of the large number of present and former Federal employees and applicants
who have identical names and birth dates, and whose identifies can only be distinguished by the SSN.
