TN 1 (10-89)

A. Introduction

Form SSA-8010-BK, Statement of Income and Resources, collects information about deemors which is not collected on other forms. It is not designed for self-help completion.

B. When to Use

1. When to Use SSA-8010-BK

Use form SSA-8010-BK, or selected portions of it, to collect information about the income and resources of these deemors:

  • parent(s) or the parent and spouse of the parent

  • essential person

  • sponsor of an alien (and the sponsor's spouse living in the same household with the sponsor).

Interviewers may use the SSA-8010-BK to record an ineligible child's income, where material. Modify the form into a Statement of Income. See SI 01310.610 C.

Interviewers may also use the modified form to record a report of changes in income, especially when there are several types of income to record.

2. When Not to Use the SSA-80100BK

Interviewers should not use the SSA-8010-BK for eligible or ineligible spouse since the SSI application and other forms capture all the spouse's income and resources information.
