SSA Requests Feedback on Self-Employment Income Forms

## Summary

The Social Security Administration wants your feedback on some forms they use to check self-employment income for benefits. They’re updating and extending these forms and want to make sure they’re easy to use and not too much work. If you have thoughts, send them by November 23, 2026, so they can keep things running smoothly without extra costs or hassle.

## Effects PRIA read

- Prove Self‑Employment to Get Benefits: benefit, high. If you are self-employed and apply for Social Security insured status, SSA will use Form SSA-766 (Statement of Self-Employment Income) to decide if you earned the minimum self-employment income for quarters of coverage. SSA may credit extra quarters of coverage based on the form and can expedite be…
- Document Farm Work to Count Earnings: benefit, medium. If you rent farmland but still work on the farm and want to count that work as earnings for Social Security, SSA will use Form SSA-7157 (Farm Arrangement Questionnaire) to document "material participation." The form is for workers who rent land to others but perform duties, management, or capital i…
- One Combined Form for Medical Evidence: benefit, high. SSA will revise Form HA-4631 to combine medical treatment information and medication lists (currently on Form HA-4632) so claimants requesting a hearing can submit one streamlined form with recent treatments, current medications, providers, visit dates, and hospitalizations. After the change, SSA w…
- Disability Report Required to Qualify: cost, high. SSA and State Disability Determination Services use Form SSA-3368 (Disability Report—Adult) to decide whether an adult's impairments are severe enough for SSDI or SSI. Applicants must complete the form when they apply; SSA estimates 1,745,348 respondents annually with a total annual burden of 2,327…
- Forms to Prove Child’s Claim to Benefits: benefit, medium. SSA uses Form SSA-2519 (Child Relationship Statement) to decide whether a child qualifies for benefits based on their relationship to an insured parent, including living arrangements, court decrees, support orders, or written acknowledgements. SSA estimates 4,787 respondents annually with a total a…
- Help for Inmates Getting Replacement Cards: benefit, medium. Under agreements with correctional facilities, prison officials can certify the identity of incarcerated U.S. citizens so SSA can issue replacement Social Security cards when inmates lack identity documents. SSA calls for verification statements from prison officials; the notice estimates 200,000 r…
- Claiming Survivor Benefits After Long Absence: benefit, low. When an insured worker has been absent from home for at least seven years with no evidence they are alive, SSA can presume death. SSA uses Form SSA-723 to collect information to decide on a presumed date of death for survivor benefits. SSA estimates 806 respondents annually with a total annual burd…
- Ticket to Work Reporting and Payments: benefit, medium. SSA is renewing and revising multiple information collections used in the Ticket to Work program. Employment Networks (ENs), state vocational rehabilitation agencies, and ticketholders use portal forms and reports for assignments, unassignments, payment requests, performance reports, and other prog…
- Time and Cost to Request SSA Data Exchanges: cost, low. Organizations, State/local/tribal governments, and foreign governments that request electronic data exchanges with SSA must submit Form SSA-157 or use the electronic Data Exchange Request Form (DXRF). SSA reports 262 respondents with a total annual burden of 2,144 hours and a theoretical opportunit…
- Public Feedback Surveys to Improve Service: benefit, low. SSA is renewing a generic clearance to collect voluntary qualitative feedback (surveys, focus groups, usability testing) about SSA service delivery. Each year SSA plans for 1,818,404 respondents with an average 13 minutes per response; the three-year triennial renewal totals 1,181,964 burden hours.…
