WHY APD NEEDS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

- - -

Why Do We Ask For Your
Social Security Number?

It provides us with an identification
number that no one else will have.

It provides us with verification that
you are a citizen or a legal permanent
resident of the United States.

We will not ask for the Social Security
number of anyone else in your household
who is not requesting services from the
Agency for Persons with Disabilities.

What Will We Do With Your
Social Security Number?

Your Social Security number will be
maintained in a safe place where others
cannot see it.

Your Social Security number will be
your identification number in our client
information system. Only APD employees
and Waiver Support Coordinators use this
system.

Your Social Security number will appear
on the authorizations that we give to
your service providers so they may bill
Medicaid for services provided to you.

We will not use or give out your Social
Security number for any reason, including
referrals to other agencies that may be
able to help you, unless you have given
consent in writing.

If you feel that your Social Security
number has been used improperly, or if
you have questions about the use of your
Social Security number, please contact
your Waiver Support Coordinator or local
APD area office.
