Who qualifies

Anyone with a valid Social Security Number who has worked in the U.S. and wants a paper record of their earnings and estimated benefits, especially if unable to create an online account.

The step-by-step roadmap

  1. 1

    Enter Personal Identification

    Provide your full legal name, Social Security Number, and date of birth exactly as shown on SSA records.

    Watch out: Ensure your name matches the name currently registered on your Social Security card.
    Common rejection reason: Mismatched Social Security Number or typos in your legal name.
  2. 2

    Provide Your Mailing Address

    Enter your current mailing address where the Social Security Administration will send your paper statement.

    Watch out: Use a secure address because the mailed statement contains sensitive personal wage estimates.
    Common rejection reason: Incomplete address lines or illegible handwriting.
  3. 3

    Sign and Date the Form

    Provide your handwritten signature and the current date to verify that you are requesting your own record.

    Watch out: You cannot request another adult's statement without specific legal authority.
    Common rejection reason: Missing original signature or unsigned form.
  4. 4

    Mail the Form to SSA

    Mail the completed, signed form to the dedicated SSA processing address printed directly on the instructions.

    Watch out: Do not send this form to your local office unless instructed; use the national processing address.
    Common rejection reason: Mailing to an incorrect processing center.

Documents you'll need

  • Social Security Number

    Your 9-digit Social Security Number used to locate your individual earnings record.

    Note: Must match SSA records exactly.

  • Current Mailing Address

    Your active address where postal mail can be reliably delivered.

    Note: P.O. boxes are accepted.

  • Legal Name Change Record (if applicable)

    Marriage certificate or court order if your legal name differs from your Social Security card.

    Note: You may need to update your SSA record first if your name changed.
