You will need your Social Security number to process your award letter request.

SSI, or supplemental security income, is income provided by the Social Security Administration for people with low income who are blind, disabled or over the age of 65. Your SSI award letter — also known as a proof of income letter — is a letter stating what your monthly SSI benefits are. You can use your SSI award letter as proof of income when you are applying for services in which eligibility is based on income, and you can also use it as proof of disability.

Difficulty: Easy
