Form Approved OMB No. 0960-0015

IMPORTANT NOTICE This is a request to cancel your application. If it is approved, the decision we made on your application will have no legal effect, all rights attached to an application, including the rights of reconsideration, hearing, and appeal will be forfeited, and any payments we made to you or anyone else on the basis of that application will have to be returned. You must then reapply if you want a determination of your Social Security rights at any time in the future but any subsequent application may not involve the same retroactive period. This procedure is intended to be used only when your decision to file has resulted, or will result, in a disadvantage to you. Your local Social Security office will be glad to explain whether, and how, this procedure will help you.

Additional Remarks:

Privacy Act Statement Collection and Use of Personal Information Sections 202 (a), 205 (a), and 1872 of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorize us to collect this information. The information you provide will be used to cancel your application for benefits. The information you furnish on this form is voluntary. However, failure to provide the requested information may cause continued consideration of your benefits claim. We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for cancelling an application. However, we may use it for the administration and integrity of Social Security programs. We may also disclose information to another person or to another agency in accordance with approved routine uses, which include but are not limited to the following: 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 comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from Social Security records (e.g., to the Government Accountability Office and Department of Veterans' Affairs); 3. To make determinations for eligibility in similar health and income maintenance programs at the Federal, state and local level; and 4. To facilitate statistical research, audit or investigative activities necessary to assure the integrity of Social Security programs. We may also use the information you provide in computer matching programs. Matching programs compare our records with records kept by 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. Additional information regarding this form, routine uses of information, and our programs and systems, is available on-line at www.ssa.gov or at your local Social Security office.
