Answer:

  • There is a form called the SSA-7050 which you can submit to Social Security for your client to get an itemized statement of their past earnings and employer information; however, it costs $92 to get this record. Here is a link to the SSA-7050: https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-7050.pdf

    Generally, we recommend asking the person to name the information about their past jobs within the past 15 years (position, place worked, dates worked, etc.) to the best of their recollection. Then, in the Remarks section of the Adult Disability Report (SSA-3368), you can explain that the work information was provided to the best of the applicant's recollection and may not be completely accurate.
