listed below under the System Name and Number section. This notice 
publishes details of the modified systems as set forth below under the 
caption, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

DATES: The system of records notice (SORN) is applicable upon its 
publication in today's Federal Register, with the exception of the new 
routine use, which is effective March 28, 2024.
    We invite public comment on the addition of the routine use. In 
accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, we are providing the public a 
30-day period in which to submit comments. Therefore, please submit any 
comments by March 28, 2024.

Congress may comment on this publication by writing to the Executive 
Director, Office of Privacy and Disclosure, Office of the General 
Counsel, SSA, Room G-401 West High Rise, 6401 Security Boulevard,

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.
