Benefit Verification Statement/Letter

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not receive Social Security or Medicare benefits, please do not request a benefit verification letter. If you want to verify the accurate reporting of your earnings and Social Security tax history, see an estimate of your future retirement, survivors, and disability benefits, or learn how to qualify for those benefits, you should obtain a Social Security Statement.

Why Do I Need a Social Security Benefit Verification Statement?
To obtain services or other benefits.

What Information Can I Get on a Benefit Verification Statement?
Current or Prior Benefit Amount and Effective Date
Birth Date
Hospital and Supplemental Medical Insurance Entitlement Dates
Type of Benefits Being Received
Current Supplemental Security Income Payment Amount and Effective Dates
Type of Supplemental Security Payments Being Received.

Strange way to say it, \"carta de mérito\", but it does not sound too bad as a translation for \"eligibility\" or \"entitlement\" letter as Jane offers. Both are good.

It is a re-translation for sure.

eligibility form

William,sobra toda explicación si vas a la página que te doy.
En cuanto a "ameritados", es decir, los que reunen los requisitos para beneficiarse de las prestaciones de la Seguridad Social,yo lo traduciría como
"eligible applicants"
Cheers!
