Required Notices for Disclosure of Social Security Numbers

Except in those instances in which the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio is legally required to collect a Social Security Number (SSN), an individual shall not be required to provide his or her SSN, nor shall the individual be denied access to the services at issue if the individual refuses to disclose his or her SSN. An individual, however, may volunteer his or her SSN as an alternate means of locating a record or accessing services. Questions about whether a particular use is required by law should be directed to the Office of Regulatory Affairs & Compliance, Gail Madison-Brown, Chief Compliance Officer/Privacy Officer at 567-2014.

Each time the Health Science Center requests an individual disclose his or her SSN, the Health Science Center shall provide one of the notices below to the individual whether the disclosure is mandatory or voluntary.

Future forms and reprints of existing stock of forms shall include the notice printed on the form.

• Notice for Request of Disclosure of Social Security Number
• Notice for Request of Social Security Number for Employment Purposes
• Notice for Request of Social Security Number for Student Application Process
• Notice for Voluntary Disclosure of Social Security Number
