Mobile Wage Reporting

App - Instructions

These instructions explain what SSI recipients, deemors, and representative

payees need to do to use the SSA Mobile Wage Reporting App (available for

download in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store) to report gross

wages from their pay stubs to SSA. Recipients, deemors and representative payees

who prefer not to report wages by using the app may use the telephone wage

reporting tool, the online wage reporting tool on the my Social Security website,

or traditional reporting methods such as mailing or bringing paystubs into their

local Social Security office. Monthly reporters who experience technical

difficulties should contact their local Social Security office for assistance.

When you should report monthly wages

Please report wages during the first six days of the month to help prevent an

incorrect SSI payment. You can choose which of the six days to report. If you

miss reporting during the first six-day reporting period at the beginning of the

month, you can still report the wages using the mobile application, via the

telephone or online application, or through your local Social Security Office.

Note: Wages reported after the sixth of each month might not be reflected

accurately in a future month. SSA will mail a notice if there are changes to the

payment amount explaining these changes and your right to appeal.

Things to know before reporting wages on a mobile device

 Reporters using the app should be at least 18 years of age or older.

 The wage earner’s Social Security number – this is the person working

 Every paystub the wage earner received for the entire month. Every paystub at a

minimum must show the pay date and gross wage amount. Gross wages are the

amount of pay before taxes and other deductions.

 If you are reporting wages as a parent or wage earner and your child receives SSI,

only enter your own information. You do not need to enter your child’s SSN.

Your SSN is connected to your child’s record, so the report is posted properly.

Who is the wage earner?

A wage earner is the person who is working and receiving wages or payment for

working. You are the wage earner if you are working and you are reporting your

own wages. If you are reporting someone else’s wages, then the wage earner is the

person whose wages you are reporting.
