When an individual reports to the DO receipt of a spouse's government pension after
entitlement, request that the individial complete a Form SSA-3885 (Government Pension
Questionnaire). If a government pension offset applies, prepare a form SSA-795, (Statement
of Applicant or Other Person), giving the first month and the amount the pension offset
applies and forward to the appropriate reviewing office with the completed SSA-3885.
Should the DO determine that a government pension offset does not apply, record this
fact on the SSA-795 forwarded with the SSA-3885.
