All 8 pages of form SSA-1372-BK are available for viewing/downloading. Pages 1, 7 and 8 are provided as informational for school officials. Pages 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 directly concern school officials. Below are descriptions of each of the pages:
Steps to Student Benefits
Page 1 informs the child that their benefits will stop at age 18 unless they qualify for childhood disability benefits or they are a full-time student at an elementary or secondary school. It also states what the child should do to receive student or childhood disability benefits.
Pages 2 and 3 consist of the student's information about current and prior school attendance and an expected graduation date, and it elicits information about other factors that may affect the payment of benefits. When a student completes pages 2 and 3 they should give them to a school official for review.
Page 4 is the school official's certification of the student's information about their school attendance. The school official should:
- Review the information the student provided on pages 2 and 3;
- Answer the questions on page 4;
- Sign and date page 4, furnishing the school official's title and phone number with area code;
- Annotate page 5 with the student's expected graduation date;
- Keep pages 5 and 6; and
- Return the rest of the form to the student.
The school official should detach and retain this page. They should keep page 5 for the purpose of reporting that a student is no longer in full-time attendance. If the student does not leave page 5, the school official should download it from this site.
NOTE: If the student leaves page 5 with the school, the form should have the address of the student's local Social Security office printed on it. If that information is missing, or if the school official downloads page 5 from this site, the school official can obtain the address of the student's local Social Security office. The school official should input the student's zip code.
