To amend title II of the Social Security Act to provide for disclosure 
   by the Social Security Administration of Social Security account 
  numbers and other records pursuant to judgments, decrees, or orders 
              issued by courts of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 1. DISCLOSURE OF SOCIAL SECURITY RECORDS PURSUANT TO COURT 
              JUDGMENTS, DECREES, OR ORDERS.

    Section 205(c)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 405(c)(2)) 
is amended--
            (1) by redesignating subparagraphs (F) and (G) as 
        subparagraphs (G) and (H), respectively; and
            (2) by inserting after subparagraph (E) the following new 
        subparagraph:
    ``(E) Any judgment, decree, or order issued by a court of competent 
jurisdiction to the Social Security Administration shall be treated as 
an order meeting the requirements for disclosure under section 
552a(b)(11) of title 5, United States Code, to the extent the judgment, 
decree, or order requires disclosure of an individual's Social Security 
account number or any other record maintained by the Social Security 
Administration pertaining to an individual. Any such order shall not be 
treated as precluded by any determination that the need for the 
disclosure is inadequate on the basis of any invasion of privacy which 
might result from such order.''.

SEC. 2. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    The amendment made by section 1 shall apply with respect to 
judgments, decrees, and orders issued by courts of competent 
jurisdiction on or after the date of the enactment of this Act.
