Functions that "retrieve SSNs" require a brief
statement indicating the department name, users
who need this, specifically why access to SSNs is
needed and what will be done with the SSNs once
they are retrieved. In general, SSNs should only
be used for reporting to external agencies
because most Penn State transactions will use the
PSU ID. Initial approval will be granted by the
data stewards with subsequent approval done by
the Privacy Officer to confirm the department
will be properly securing the SSNs on their PCs
and network. For more information on requesting
access to these functions see the CIDR function
