FormsIdentity.Ticket.UserData and authentication ticket.UserData staying in sync

In my asp.net website. I am putting some data into the UserData portion of the forms authentication ticket. Later I am then able to access this data using

(FormsIdentity)(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity).Ticket.UserData

My question is - as long as the authentication ticket is valid, will this data ALWAYS be available in the FormsIdentity.Ticket.UserData? Or will I eventually need to sync the FormsIdentity.Ticket.UserData and the UserData in the authentication ticket?

Yes, it is encrypted with the authentication ticket, so it will be there as long as the same ticket is used. Edit: if you are changing the data, you will need to issue a new authentication ticket.
