Supplemental Security Income Telephone Wage Reporting (SSITWR)

Supplemental Security Income
Smartphone Wage Reporting
Application - Instructions
Beneficiaries, deemors and representative payees reporting a change in wages can
report their monthly wages via the SSI Mobile Wage Reporting Application
available in the Google Play and the Apple App Store. These instructions explain
what beneficiaries, deemors, and representative payees need to do in order to use
the smartphone applications to report monthly wages. Using the following charts to
help you calculate your monthly wages is voluntary. Beneficiaries, deemors and
representative payees who would rather not report wages by smartphone
application can use traditional reporting methods such as mailing or bringing
paystubs into their local Social Security office. Monthly reporters who experience
technical difficulties should contact their local field office for assistance.
When you should report wages
Please report wages during the first 6 days of the month to help prevent an
incorrect SSI payment. You can choose which of the 6 days to report. If you
miss reporting wages during the first 6 day reporting period at the beginning of the
month, you can still report the wages using the smartphone application or at your
local Social Security Office.
Things you need to have before you report wages by smartphone
• The user’s Social Security Number (this is the person actually using the
smartphone application to report the wages)
• The Social Security number of the wage earner (this is the person working)
• The TOTAL amount of gross wages received by the wage earner. Gross
wages are the amount of pay before taxes and other deductions.
• The reporter’s (user’s) name as it appears on their Social Security card
How to figure the total wages for each month
Fill in the blanks on the attached worksheets. Use your worksheet to report wages
when you use your smartphone application.
Who is the Wage Earner?
A wage earner is the person who is working and receiving wages or payment for
working. You are the wage earner if you are working and you are reporting your
own wages. If you are reporting someone else’s wages, then the wage earner is the
person whose wages you are reporting.

How to Download the SSI Mobile
Wage Reporting App to Your Device
Android
On your mobile device (from the Google Play Store)
1. Click the "Google Play" icon. Click the "Search icon" on your screen and type “SSI
Mobile Wage Reporting” into the search bar that appears.
2. Navigate to the SSI Mobile Wage Reporting application and tap to select it - the
details screen will appear, and you can read more about the app, its features and the
developer.
3. Tap the Download button.
4. Tap Accept & download to accept the permissions for the app - your item will start
downloading immediately.
Apple/iTunes
On your mobile device (from the Apple App Store)
1. Click the "App Store" icon on the home screen of your iPhone. Click "Search" at the
bottom of the screen and type “SSI Mobile Wage Reporting” into the search bar that
appears.
2. Tap the icon that appears to reach additional information about the app, including
developer notes, screen shots and user ratings.
3. To download the SSI Mobile Wage Reporting app tap the button that contains the
word "Free." Once the download status bar under the new icon on your iPhone has
completed, you can access and begin using the new app.

How to Report Wages Using the Smartphone Application
1. If you are reporting wages for yourself or for another person always enter your own
information on the first screen that asks for information even if you are not the
beneficiary, (this screen appears after the Terms of Service, titled “Tell Us Who You
Are”).
2. If you are reporting wages for yourself, you enter and confirm your own gross wages.
(You already entered your SSN in the previous screen).
Note: If you are reporting wages as a parent or wage earner and your child receives
SSI, only enter your own information. You do not need to enter your child’s SSN.
Your SSN is connected to your child’s record, so therefore the report is posted
properly.
3. If you are reporting wages for “other persons,” you are to input the Social Security
number of the person who earned his/her wages in the “Enter SSN and Wages”
screen.
Note: Always enter wages of the wage earner, not the beneficiary. If you are a parent
reporting wages, but your spouse is the wage earner, you will enter your spouse’s SSN
and gross wages earned.
4. If you are reporting wages for yourself and another person, you enter your own
information first and after a successful submission, you will see a “Submit More
Wages” button. You select this button to begin to submit wages for the other person.
You will enter their SSN and their wages; there is no need to enter your own
information again.

How to Fill-in the Worksheet
Date Paid
Use Box A to show the date paid (payday).
Date Paid is the date (Month, Day, Year) the wage earner is paid (pay day).
Gross Wages
Use Box B to show the gross amount of wages.
Enter dollars and cents ($ X,XXX. cc).
Use the wage earners pay stub to find the gross wages. Gross wages are the amount of pay
before taxes and other deductions. Do not enter net wages, the amount of take home pay
on the paycheck, or the direct deposit amount to your bank. Do not enter the total wages
for the year, also called the year-to-date (YTD) amount.
Use a Separate Line for Each Pay
You should fill-in a line for each pay date in a month.
If the wage earner is paid 2 times a month, you should fill-in Line 1 and Line 2.
If the wage earner is paid 3 times a month, you should fill-in Line 1, Line 2 and
Line 3.
If the wage earner is paid 4 times a month, you should fill-in Line 1, Line 2, Line 3,
and Line 4.
If the wage earner is paid 5 times a month, you should fill-in Line 1, Line 2, Line 3,
Line 4 and Line 5.
If the wage earner gets an extra check for special pay such as an award, bonus, or unused
vacation, or any other reason, use a separate line to enter the pay date and
gross wages.
How Wage Earner Paid
Paid Weekly
Paid Bi-Weekly (Every 2 Weeks)
Paid Bi-Monthly
Paid Monthly

Number of Pays a Month
4 Pays or 5 Pays
2 or 3 Pays
2 Pays
1 Pay

Total Gross Wages
Use Box C to enter the total amount of gross wages.
Add together all gross wages in Box B for each line where you have wage
amounts. This is your total. Put the total in Box C TOTAL.
Please double check that you only include dates and amounts that you received in
the month shown at the top of the page.

You are now ready to report total gross wages received.
Remember, consistent and timely monthly wage reporting helps prevent SSI overpayments
and underpayments.
