Krystle H.
Hi my name is Krystle Hollman and I would like to request a updated award letter for my son
V.V.
Hi Krystle, thank you for using our blog. If you need proof that your child receives Social Security benefits or Supplemental Security (SSI) Income, you need to request a benefit verification letter. Often times this letter is referred to as a “budget letter,” a “benefits letter,” a “proof of income letter,” or a “proof of award letter.” Unfortunately, you cannot request a benefit verification letter online for another person, such as a spouse or child. To request a benefit verification letter for your child, you can call us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) for assistance or you can contact your local Social Security office. Please look for the general inquiry telephone number at the Social Security Office Locator. The number may appear under Show Additional Office Information. Please be aware that our call wait times are longer than normal. We hope this information helps.
