A. Introduction

Requests processed under the following instructions include requests which make no reference to receipt of a previous statement of earnings, e.g., Form SSA-7050, Request for Itemized Statement of Earnings, Form SSA-581, Authorization to Obtain Earnings Data from the Social Security Administration and/ or written correspondence. Generally this type of request is received when the number holder requests a statement of earnings to verify the accuracy of their earnings record. In most cases, the requester indicates:

  • employer, year/quarter and amount.

  • employer and year/quarter.

  • year/quarter and amount.
