The Social Security Administration (SSA) has issued a notice to modify the Travel and Border Crossing Records system, initially published in 2019, in accordance with the Privacy Act. This modified system collects information about individuals who receive benefits and have traveled outside the United States, to ensure proper benefit payments under Titles II, XVI, and XVIII of the Social Security Act. Public comments are invited on the changes, especially concerning routine uses, before they become effective on March 31, 2021. The modifications include updates to contact information, records retention, and disposal practices, as well as corrections to stylistic and typographical errors.
Simple Explanation
The Social Security Administration is changing some of the rules about how they keep track of people who get benefits and travel outside the country, and they want people to know about it and give their thoughts. They're making sure the information is correct and easy to understand, and they want to know if people have any worries about how their information is shared with other groups.
