Privacy Act Statement :
Section 215 of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorizes us to collect the information on this
form. The information you provide will be used to determine the effect of your pension on your Social Security benefits. Your
response is voluntary. However, failure to provide the requested 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 provided on this form for any purpose other than
for determining the amount of the Social Security benefit you are entitled to receive. However, in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
§ 552a(b) of the Privacy Act, we may disclose the information provided on this form (1) to enable a third party or an agency to
assist Social Security in establishing rights to Social Security benefits and/or coverage; (2) to make determinations for eligibility in
similar health and income maintenance programs at the Federal, state, and local level; (3) to comply with Federal laws requiring
the disclosure of the information from our records; and (4) to facilitate statistical research, audit or investigative activities
necessary to assure the integrity of SSA programs. We may also use the information you provide when we match records by
computer. Computer matching programs compare our records with those of 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. The law allows us to
do this even if you do not agree to it. A complete list of routine uses for this information is contained in our System of Records
Notice 60-0089 (Claims Folders System). Additional information regarding this form and our other system of records notices and
Social Security programs are available from our Internet website at
or at your local Social Security office.

U.S Social Security retirement or disability benefits may be determined using a different formula under the Windfall Elimination
Provisions (WEP), when you also receive a pension based on employment or self-employment, (employment, meaning work)
from a foreign pension not covered by U.S. Social Security. Social Security benefit amounts use only earnings covered under
Social Security with a benefit formula that gives proportionately higher amounts to workers with low lifetime earnings. A worker
with a substantial period of non-covered work during their lifetime appears to have lower lifetime earnings than they actually had.
WEP reduces the primary insurance amount upon which benefits are based and affects all benefits paid on that record except
survivors. The difference in U.S. Social Security benefits computed under WEP cannot be greater than one-half the amount of the
non-covered pension received in the first month you are entitled to both the non-covered pension and the U.S. Social
Security benefit.
