The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a(b)(12)) permits Federal agencies to disclose certain information without the written consent
of the subject to consumer reporting agencies in accordance with 31 U.S.C. 3711(e). The purpose of the disclosure is to aid the Federal government in the collection
of outstanding debts, by making these debts part of their credit records.
In accordance with this provision of the Privacy Act, we may disclose the following
information to consumer reporting agencies about individuals with delinquent Social
Security Administration debts:
-
-
-
-
•
other information necessary to establish an individual’s identity;
-
-
-
-
•
the agency or program under which the debt arose.
We have several systems of records that contain a routine use allowing disclosure
to consumer reporting agencies. You can view a full listing of all of our systems
of records and their routine uses at https://www.ssa.gov/privacy/sorn.html.
Please refer requests concerning consumer agencies to the Office of the General Counsel, Office of
Privacy and Disclosure via the regional Privacy Act Coordinator.
