photograph, such as a driver’s license. 

Persons lacking identification 

documents sufficient to establish their 

identity must certify in writing that they 

are the person they claim to be and that 

they understand that the knowing and 

willful request for, or acquisition of, a 

record pertaining to another person 

under false pretenses is a criminal 

offense. 

Persons requesting notification by 

telephone must verify their identity by 

providing identifying information that 

parallels the information in the record 

to which notification is being requested. 

If we determine that the identifying 

information the person provides by 

telephone is insufficient, the person will 

be required to submit a request in 

writing or in person. If a person requests 

information by telephone on behalf of 

another person, the subject person must 

be on the telephone with the requesting 

person and us in the same telephone 

call. We will establish the subject 

person’s identity (his or her name, SSN, 

address, date of birth, and place of birth, 

along with one other piece of 

information, such as mother’s maiden 

name) and ask for his or her consent to 

provide information to the requesting 

person. These procedures are in 

accordance with our regulations (20 

CFR 401.40 and 401.45). 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Same as notification procedures. 

Requesters also should reasonably 

specify the record contents they are 

seeking. These procedures are in 

accordance with our regulations (20 

CFR 401.40(c)). 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Same as notification procedures. 

Requesters also should reasonably 

identify the record, specify the 

information they are contesting, and 

state the corrective action sought and 

the reasons for the correction with 

supporting justification showing how 

the record is incomplete, untimely, 

inaccurate, or irrelevant. These 

procedures are in accordance with our 

regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)). 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

We obtain information covered by this 

system of records from existing records 

we maintain (e.g., the Claims Folder 

System, 60–0089), which contain 

information relating to the 

representation of claimants before us. 

EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM: 

None.
