Abstract: SSA uses the information collected on the SSA-2010 to determine continuing eligibility for Special Veterans Benefits and to determine how much (if any) of a foreign pension may be used to reduce or increase the amount of Social Security retirement Special Veterans Benefits. Depending on their age, respondents complete the SSA-2010 every year or every other year so that SSA can determine if benefits may be increased, decreased, suspended, or terminated, based on the data collected. The respondents are beneficiaries receiving Social Security Special Veterans Benefits.
