The information collected on the form
is needed to substantiate allegations of wages paid to workers when
wages do not appear in SSA's records of earnings and the worker has
no proof of siad earnings. SSA can use the information to process
claims for benefits and resolve discrepancies in the worker's
earnings record. The respondents are certain employers who can
verify wage allegations made by the wage earner.
