Requesting Proof of Income from SSA
October 15, 2010
It has come to HUD's attention that some owner/agents (O/As) are still advising tenants to obtain proof of their Social Security income from local Social Security Administration offices. With the Enterprise Income Verification system now providing this information, and as indicated in Housing Notice 10-10, O/As must not send tenants to local SSA offices to obtain proof of their Social Security income.
Instead, the O/A must ask the tenant to request benefit information from SSA using SSA’s website or toll-free number.
Select “What you can do online”
Select “If you get benefits”
Select “Request a Proof of Income Letter”
Tenants should check the box “All Benefit Information Available” to make sure all benefits received are provided.
To request a Proof of Income Letter from SSA’s toll-free number, call 1-800-772-1213.
This information is free and the tenant should receive the letter in the mail within 10 days.
