Privacy Act Statement
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) administers the Civil Service Retirement System and the Federal Employees Retirement System for Federal employees as
authorized by chapters 83, 84, 87, and 89 of title 5, U.S. Code, and Public Laws 83-589, 84-356, and 86-724. The Federal Claims Collection Act of 1966 as amended (Public
Law 89-508) empowers the head of a Federal agency to enforce collection of claims for the United States of money or property arising out of the activities of the agency. Section
179.102 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, delegates authority to the Associate Director for Retirement and Insurance for collection of claims arising out of overpayment of
Federal retirement benefits. Public Law 104-134 (April 26, 1996) requires that any person doing business with the Federal government furnish a social security number or tax
identification number. This is an amendment to title 31, Section 7701. The information requested on this form is needed to evaluate your financial ability to repay OPM. The
information may be shared with the General Accounting Office and the United States Department of Justice in the event litigation is required to enforce collection. This
information may be shared and is subject to verification, via paper, electronic media, or through the use of computer matching programs, with national, state, local, or other
charitable or social security administrative agencies in order to determine benefits under their programs, to obtain information necessary for determination or continuation of
benefits under this program, or to report income for tax purposes. It may also be shared and verified, as noted above, with law enforcement agencies when they are investigating
a violation or potential violation of civil or criminal law. Provision of the information is voluntary; however, failure to supply all requested information may result in a thorough
financial investigation or a decision adverse to you. Pending the results of the investigation, evidence may be turned over to the Department of Justice for appropriate action.
Intentionally false statements and/or suspected illegal activities are reportable to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
