Social security - how do I verify the SS monthly income amount?

I have a pair of tenants applying to lease a property that are on social security.  They have shown and given copies of letters that show the monthly benefit amounts.  They seem real but I am not sure.  All benefits are put onto a debit card each month (not a bank account that I can request statements from )  My question is - how do I verify the benefit incomes indicated are the benefit amounts?  Each tenant (unmarried couple) makes enough income to meet my 3x rent policy.  There is proof of a small pension as well.  They couple is looking for a long term property to rent and every thing else seems to check out.  Is there a place I can verify the SS benefits?

Any assistance is appreciated.  Thanks!
