For the Social Security Earning Data submission to NVC, does it have to be the certified one or the free statement will do?

Hi thanks for your reply. But no we're not using it since my husband havent started receiving any yet. But its one of the things listed on the AOS and IV supporting documents. Its 140 dollars to get the certified SS Earning Statement, we wonder if its necessary to get that or just the free yearly gross earning statement that you can get at SS office for free will do. Although it dont say certified. But we wonder what others have been submitting before. Edited June 18, 2015 by debi361

The free one is fine. Every year you will get a letter indicating what your SS benefits will be and also contained in the letter is the adjust for COLA (cost of living allowance) which is adjusted yearly. That is the document that you can use. They just want proof that your receiving what you say you are and that letter is fine for their needs.
