How can I get proof that I applied for SSI?

A) There are a few ways to get proof that you applied for SSI.

• Request a benefit verification letter from Social Security. This letter will state that you have applied for SSI and that your application is pending or has been approved. You can request a benefit verification letter online or by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
• Check your online account. If you have an online account with Social Security, you may be able to see a record of your SSI application. You can create an online account at www.ssa.gov/myaccount.
• Request your case file from Social Security. Your case file will contain all of the documents that were submitted with your SSI application, including your application form, any supporting documents, and the decision letter from Social Security. You can request your case file by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

You can obtain proof that you applied for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) by contacting the Social Security Administration (SSA) and requesting a benefits verification letter 1. This letter will provide proof that you have applied for SSI benefits, and can be used to show that you are in the process of applying for benefits. Additionally, the benefits verification letter can also be used to show that you do not currently receive SSI benefits. To request a benefits verification letter, you can visit the SSA website and create a my Social Security account, or call the SSA’s toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213.
