What This Document Is
A Benefit Verification Letter — sometimes called a "Proof of Income Letter," "Budget Letter," "Benefits Letter," or "Proof of Award Letter" — is an official federal record issued by the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA). It documents an individual's status in the Social Security system and serves as authoritative proof of:
Current monthly benefit amount (Retirement, Disability, Survivors, or SSI benefits, before and after deductions)
Past benefit amounts for prior periods
Type of benefit the individual is entitled to receive
Medicare deductions being withheld for medical insurance premiums (if applicable)
Eligibility status — that the individual is, or is not, currently entitled to Social Security benefits
SSA Benefit Verification Letters are produced under federal authority and bear the official SSA letterhead, an official SSA seal, and a unique BNC# (Beneficiary Notice Control number) that allows the document to be verified by SSA. The letter is one of the most widely accepted forms of proof of income and federal benefit status, both domestically and internationally.
