SSA-7011 is needed by SSA to substantiate allegations of wages paid
to workers when those wages do not appear on the SSA earnings
record and the worker does not have proof that payment was made.

benefits and to resolve discrepancies in earnings records. The
respondents are certain employers who can verify allegations of
wages made by the wage earner.
