Application for Parent's Insurance Benefits

OMB 0960-0012

SSA uses the information gathered by each benefit application to determine eligibility for Social Security benefits and the amount of the benefits. This information collection is voluntary. However, the collection of this information is mandatory for SSA to award or deny monthly benefits as parents of a deceased worker. The public can apply for this benefit using one of two modalities: (1) a paper application (Form SSA-7-F6); or (2) a field office interview (in person or by telephone), during which SSA employees enter applicant data directly into the Modernized Claims System (MCS). The respondents are applicants filing for Parent’s Insurance Benefits.

The latest form for Application for Parent's Insurance Benefits expires 2026-09-30 and can be found here.
