Unsure of Your Medicare or Social Security Benefits? Get Proof

Do you need proof you receive Social Security benefits or have Medicare? Great news- you can request a Benefit Verification Letter for proof of either situation. 

A Benefit Verification Letter is an official letter from the Social Security Administration that proves the following information:

• Age
  
• Current Medicare health insurance coverage
  
• Income when you apply for a loan or mortgage
• Income for assisted housing or other state or local benefits
• Retirement status
• Disability

Request your letter online at my Social Security. Alternatively, you can call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
