Proof of income
Whether you want to apply for a loan or just for a government benefit such as food stamps or even housing assistance, you need to prove your income is high enough to make you a proper credit risk or even low enough to make you eligible for aid.
If that income also includes Social Security benefits, you can easily get the evidence you need (it only takes a matter of minutes) via the Social Security Administration’s online My Social Security service. With a Social Security account, you can easily customize, download, and even print a copy of your benefit verification letter, which also serves as proof of your Social Security income.
Moreover, you can use your account to review your earnings history, check the current or even future benefits, order a replacement Social Security or Medicare card, and access any other Social Security services.
