Form SSA-7104. Partnership Questionnaire

Form SSA-7104, the Partnership Questionnaire, is used to collect information from partnerships for tax and reporting purposes. The main purpose is to gather essential data to determine an individual's eligibility for Social Security benefits. This form is used in cases where a person's eligibility depends on their relationship with a deceased individual, such as a former spouse.

For example, this form may be used by the SSA to collect information from a partnership to establish a deceased individual's eligibility for survivor benefits. The benefit is ensuring that eligible individuals receive the Social Security benefits to which they are entitled based on their relationship to the deceased.

The parties involved are partnerships and the SSA. The form typically consists of sections that require the partnership to provide information about their business and the deceased individual, including the nature of the partnership and details of the partnership's operations.
