What is a Benefit Verification Letter?
A benefit verification letter is an official document that provides proof of your Social Security benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. This letter may also be referred to as a “budget letter,” “benefits letter,” “proof of income letter,” or “proof of award letter.” It can be used when applying for a mortgage, a loan, housing, or other services that require proof of income or benefits.
