SSA prepares Form SSA-L106 (Letter to
Custodian of School Records)and SSA-L706 (Letter to Custodian of
Birth Records) for individuals who need help in obtaining evidence
of their age in connection with Social Security number (SSN) card
applications and claims for benefits or Supplemental Security
Income (SSI). SSA uses the SSA-L106 to determine the existence of
primary evidence of age for SSN applicants. SSA also uses both
letters to verify with the issuing entity, when necessary, the
authenticity of the record submitted by the SSN applicant or
claimant. The respondents are schools, State and local bureaus of
vital statistics, and religious entities.
