The Social Security Administration may request several documents in response to a report that there has been a change in one or more of the above areas of a claimant’s life. Common documents the Social Security Administration requests include birth certificates, pay stubs, workers’ compensation forms or other paperwork, and legal documents that may have to do with incarceration or trip outside of the United States. The Social Security Administration recommends that the claimant maintain copies of any documents that are sent to their attention.
