Privacy Act Statement

Public Law 106-58, Section 643 (September 29, 1999) confers regulatory authority on OPM for agency use of appropriated funds for child care costs for lower income Federal employees. Public Law 104-134 (April 26, 1996) requires that any person doing business with the Federal Government furnish a Social Security Number or tax identification number. This is an amendment to title 31, Section 7701. The primary use of these Social Security Numbers will be for identification purposes in determining eligibility for child care tuition assistance. The primary use of information regarding family income (copies of pay slips and tax returns), name of current child care provider, copies of the providers license, statement of compliance, and information about other child care subsidies is also used to determine eligibility for child care tuition assistance. Disclosure of the above information is voluntary, but failure to provide all of the requested information may result in denial of your application.
