Employment Relationship Questionnaire

When SSA needs information to determine a worker’s employment status to maintain a worker’s earning records, the agency uses Form SSA-7160, to determine the existence of an employer-employee relationship. We use the information to develop the employment relationship by determining if a beneficiary is self-employed or an employee. The respondents are individuals seeking to establish their employment status as employees and their alleged employers. The respondents include individuals, households, businesses, and state and local governments.
