use the information you provide to respond to your request for access to the records we maintain about you or to process your 
request to release your records to a third party.  You do not have to provide the requested information.  Your response is 
voluntary; however, we cannot honor your request to release information or records about you to another person or organization 
without your consent. We rarely use the information provided on this form for any purpose other than to respond to requests for

payments or overpayments under these programs. Additional information regarding this form, routine uses of information, and
