Where no formal marriage documentation exists, SSA uses information we collect on Form SSA-754-F4 to determine whether an individual applying for spousal benefits meets the criteria of common-law marriage under state law. The respondents are applicants for a spouse's Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability insurance benefits.
The latest form for Statement of Marital Relationship expires 2021-02-28 and can be found here.
