Form SSA-7163. Questionnaire about Employment or Self Employment

Form SSA-7163 is a Questionnaire about Employment or Self-Employment. This form is used to collect information about an individual's employment or self-employment status. Its primary purpose is to help determine an individual's eligibility for Social Security benefits by clarifying their work status.

For example, if someone is working but not sure if it qualifies as employment or self-employment, they might fill out this form. The benefit is to ensure that the correct status is determined for benefit calculations.

The parties involved are individuals reporting their work status and the SSA. The form typically includes sections for describing the nature of the work, the employer or client, and details about the work arrangement.
