Form SSA-760. Certificate of Support

Form SSA-760, the Certificate of Support, is used to provide evidence of financial support to an individual. The primary purpose is to document and verify that an individual has financial support and to determine their eligibility for certain Social Security benefits based on financial need.

An example scenario is when someone is applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is need-based. They may need to fill out this form to prove that they have financial support. The benefit is to establish the individual's eligibility for SSI or other need-based benefits.

The parties involved include the individual seeking benefits, any individuals providing financial support, and the SSA. This form consists of sections for detailing the sources and amounts of financial support.
