Form SSA-7-F6. Application for Parent's Insurance Benefits

Form SSA-7-F6, the Application for Parent's Insurance Benefits, serves as a request for parents to apply for insurance benefits provided by their child's Social Security coverage. This form is used by parents to claim benefits based on their child's work record. The main purpose is to assist parents in accessing financial support through their child's Social Security coverage.

An example scenario is when a parent reaches retirement age or becomes eligible for Social Security benefits and wants to apply for benefits based on their child's record. The benefit is that it provides financial assistance to parents who may depend on their child's Social Security coverage.

The parties involved are the parent applying for benefits and the SSA. The form is structured to collect information about the parent, the child on whose record the benefits are based, and the parent's relationship to the child.
