Sec. 1212.604  Social security numbers.

    (a) It is unlawful for NASA to deny to individuals any rights, 
benefits, or privileges provided by law because of the individuals' 
refusal to disclose their social security numbers, except where:
    (1) The disclosure is required by law; or
    (2) The disclosure is from a system of records in existence and 
operating before January 1, 1975, and was required under statute or 
regulation adopted before that date to verify the identity of the 
individual(s).
    (b) Any time individuals are requested to disclose their social 
security numbers, NASA shall indicate whether that disclosure is 
mandatory or voluntary, by what authority the numbers are requested, and 
what uses will be made of them.
