35. RECORDS MAY BE DISCLOSED TO SERVICEORIENTED SOCIAL
WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS PURSUANT TO AN ESTABLISHED ROUTINE USE
Disclosure of personal information from records systems to serviceoriented
social welfare organizations, such as Army Emergency Relief, Navy
Relief, Air Force Aid Society, American Red Cross, United Services
Organization, etc., is permitted pursuant to properly established
routine uses. See 5 U.S.C. § 552a(a)(7), (b)(3),
and (e)(4)(D). However, only such information as is necessary
for the welfare agency to perform its authorized functions should
be provided. Information can be disclosed only if the agency
which receives it adequately prevents its disclosure to persons
other than their employees who need such information to perform
their authorized duties.
