All applicants or recipients, or their spouses, reporting an annuity shall be asked for additional information on the annuity. The ES-3167A, Annuity Information Request form and ES-3167, Annuity Information Letter shall be used to obtain the information from the individual. It also serves as a tool for capturing necessary information to determine if a transfer penalty is applicable per 5720 .
