SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Claimants may appoint a representative to 
assist them when they are conducting business with SSA. However, the 
appointed representative may work with others such as a contractor to 
efficiently serve their client, e.g., copy retrieval service to obtain 
documents. We are updating the existing routine uses in the systems of 
records listed below to reflect the following:

    To claimants, prospective claimants (other than the data 
subject), and their appointed representatives and those working with 
such representatives (including, but not limited to, partners, 
associates, and contractors) when the information pertains to the 
individuals whom the appointed representative is representing; and 
to representative payees, when the information pertains to 
individuals for whom they serve as representative payees, for the 
purpose of assisting us in administering representative payment 
responsibilities under the Social Security Act, to the extent 
necessary to pursue Social Security claims, and for the purpose of 
assisting them in performing their duties as payees, including 
receiving and accounting for benefits for individuals for whom they 
serve as payees.
