Statement of Claimant or Other Person
Prepare an SSA-795 statement without confusing the claimant with the person giving the facts.
Official Source:Social Security AdministrationChecked Aug 2026What is SSA-795 used for?
Use SSA-795 when Social Security needs a written statement from the claimant or another person who knows the facts. Docgle prepares the current official PDF for the statement-maker to review, print, sign and date in ink, and return through the SSA channel tied to the underlying matter.
Time, difficulty & who this form is for

What to know before you start.
What this form does
This walkthrough keeps the claimant and statement-maker roles separate, leaves signatures and signing dates for the person signing the printed form, and never claims that SSA received or accepted the statement. The questions and completed PDF have been checked against the official source. Review your own PDF before sending it.
Keep in mind
Check names, dates, signatures, and supporting documents before submitting the form.
What you’ll need
The claimant's full name and Social Security number.
If someone else is giving the statement, that person's full name and relationship to the claimant.
The factual statement SSA requested, in the statement-maker's own words.
The statement-maker's telephone number and mailing address.
A way to print and sign in ink; a mark signature also needs two witnesses who know the signer.
What happens after I complete it?
Review the populated official PDF, print it, then have the statement-maker sign and date it in ink. If they sign by mark, two people who know the signer must also sign and give their full addresses on the form.
Where it goes
The SSA office or delivery channel requested or made available for the underlying claim or matter; SSA-795 itself does not give one universal destination.
Downloading does not submit the form or confirm acceptance.
