**CONTACTING A MISSING PERSON THROUGH THE SSA
Regulation No. 1 of the Social Security Act does not permit SSA to
disclose information about the whereabouts of a missing person except
as provided for the Parent Locator Service (service for locating a
parent who has skipped out on child support payments). However,
circumstances may arise when it would be proper to inform the missing
person of information about which he would want to know. Where strongly
compelling circumstances of this nature exist, SSA may forward a letter
to him/her. The letter forwarding policy is restrictive because:
1) The inquirer can be helped only if the addressee replies to the
letter. It would serve little purpose to forward a letter to an
individual unless it contains information that he/she could reasonably
be expected to want to receive and which would cause him/her to reply.
This excludes requests which are primarily for the benefit of the
requester rather than the missing person.
2) SSA does not want to burden employers. Most letters must be
forwarded through the last employer of record. Some large employers
have asked SSA not to send letters to the employees in care of the
company.
3) If all requests to forward letters were honored, the volume would
significantly interfere with normal SSA operations.
4) The addressee may consider receipt of the letter as an unwarranted
invasion of his/her privacy.
A letter will not be forwarded unless the following conditions are met:
1) There are strongly compelling reasons for wanting to get in touch
with the missing person such as: a close relative of the missing person
is seriously ill, is dying or has died; a child is left without
parental care because of the death or incapacity of the remaining
parent; a defendant in a felony case is seeking a defense witness; a
parent wishes to locate a missing son or daughter; the consent of the
missing person is needed in connection with an adoption proceeding for
his/her child; the missing person is the beneficiary of an estate and
the executor is trying to locate him; other instances where the missing
person is due money or valuable property; a doctor or hospital wishes
to contact a missing person for health reasons.
2) The missing person would want to know about the contents of the
letter.
3) The missing person's disappearance occurred far enough in the past
that SSA could reasonably expect to have a usable mailing address
(wages are reported by employers only once a year, so the most recent
information SSA has will be at least a year old).
4) All other possibilities for contacting the missing person have been
exhausted.
