To obtain a detailed statement of your employment history, you need to complete Form SSA-7050-F4, Request For Social Security Earnings Information.

Under most circumstances there is a charge involved for detailed earnings information. Considerable clerical handling is required to prepare this information. Unlike the earnings information used to compute Social Security benefits, which is electronically available, detailed earnings information must be extracted from microfilmed records through a tedious, labor-intensive operation requiring visual examination of each record before a statement can be produced and released. We do not charge for providing more detailed earnings information for correcting a Social Security record or for establishing entitlement to Social Security benefits.

You may obtain Form SSA-7050-F4, which also includes the fee schedule, from our web site at: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ssa-7050.pdf
