Is There A Fee For Earnings Information?
Yes. We charge a $91.00 fee for providing information

programs.
1. Certified or Non-Certified Itemized Statement of
Earnings
In most instances, individuals request Itemized
Statements of Earnings for purposes unrelated to
our programs such as a private pension plan or
personal injury suit. Bulk submitters may email
OCO.Pension.Fund@ssa.gov
for an alternate
method of obtaining itemized earnings information.
We will certify the itemized earnings information for
an additional $34.00 fee. Certification is usually not
necessary unless you are specifically requested to
obtain a certified earnings record.
Sometimes, there is no charge for itemized earnings
information. If you have reason to believe your
earnings are not correct (for example, you have
previously received earnings information from us
and it does not agree with your records), we will
supply you with more detail for the year(s) in
question. Be sure to show the year(s) involved on
the request form and explain why you need the
information. If you do not tell us why you need the
information, we will charge a fee.
2. Certified Yearly Totals of Earnings
We charge $34.00 to certify yearly totals of
earnings. However, if you do not want or need
certification, you may obtain yearly totals FREE of
charge at www.ssa.gov/myaccount. Certification is
usually not necessary unless you are advised
specifically to obtain a certified earnings record.
