    Description: The information collected by these forms is used by

appropriate period, rate of pay, compensation rate, and any concurrent 
employment or dual benefits, and third-party credit. Without the 
requested information, an eligible beneficiary could be denied 
benefits, or benefits could be authorized at an incorrect rate, 
resulting in an underpayment or overpayment of compensation.
