Statement Regarding Marriage

OMB 0960-0017 · SSA.

OMB 0960-0017

Some State laws recognize marriages entered into without a ceremony (called common-law marriages). SSA uses Form SSA–753 to obtain third-party statements about intent and cohabitation, which are the basic tenets for determining if a relationship is a common-law marriage. SSA ultimately uses the information to determine if a valid marital relationship exists for entitlement to spouse/widow(er) benefits. The respondents are third party individuals/households. We are making non-substantive changes to make the form a fillable PDF.

The latest form for Statement Regarding Marriage expires 2029-05-31 and is listed under ICR 202601-0960-002.
