Complete the first line with the authorizing person's name and SSN where it is necessary
to obtain information about an authorizing person who has income subject to deeming,
shared expenses, property, subsidized rent, or other eligibility factors or who has
sponsored a noncitizen.
Explain to the claimant, parent (or legal guardian), deemor, sponsor or authorizing
person what information is needed and why we need the information from the third party,
organization or independent source. To demonstrate that we have collected this authorization,
submit the form with a pen-and-ink signature to the third party, organization, or
independent source.
Obtain and complete the form outside of the SSI Claims System (i.e., download the
SSA-8510 using INFORMS) and collect a pen-and-ink signature on the form from the authorizing
person.
IMPORTANT: In the SSI Claims System, the Personal Information Authorization web page is NOT
an electronic version of the SSA-8510. The web page is to document that the technician
secured the SSA-8510 authorization, refer to MS 08108.017 for additional processing
information.
NOTE: Do not use attestation for the Personal Information Authorization. You must collect
a pen-and-ink signature.
