The spring 2023 federal unified regulatory agenda noted future rulemaking from SSA on Social Security Number Use in Government Records. According to the unified agenda:
The Social Security Administration (SSA) collects and maintains information regarding Social Security Number (SSN) applicants to administer the Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Special Veterans Benefits programs. SSA discloses to other Federal agencies certain SSN information as authorized pursuant to a framework of Federal statutes, including the Privacy Act and the Social Security Act, and related regulations. This regulation clarifies the circumstances under which SSA may disclose SSN information to other Federal agencies.
The C.F.R. cites for future rulemaking are 20 C.F.R. 401 (Privacy and Disclosure of Official Records and Information) and 20 C.F.R. 422 (Organization and Procedures). The SSA noted the authority for rulemaking is under 5 U.S.C. 552a (Records Retained on Individuals).
