Form SSA-7157-F4. Farm Arrangement Questionnaire

Form SSA-7157-F4, the Farm Arrangement Questionnaire, serves as a tool for gathering information about an individual's involvement in a farm arrangement. The primary purpose is to collect data about the specific arrangement between individuals who are engaged in farm work together or share resources for farming. This information may be used to determine eligibility for Social Security benefits.

For example, if individuals are involved in a shared farming operation, they might complete this form to provide details about the arrangement and the resources they contribute. The benefit is to ensure accurate and fair assessments of eligibility and benefits based on the unique arrangement.

The parties involved are individuals engaged in a farm arrangement and the SSA. The form typically consists of sections for describing the arrangement, identifying the parties involved, and specifying the contributions made by each party.
