September 12, 2022 • By Kilolo Kijakazi, Ph.D., M.S.W. Acting Commissioner

Reading Time: 1 Minute

There are few, if any, federal agencies that positively impact the lives of the

August 25, 2022 • By Stephen McGraw, Director, Division of Strategic
Communications

Reading Time: 2 Minutes

We strive to explain your benefits using easy-to-understand, plain language. The
Plain Writing Act of 2010 requires federal agencies to communicate information
clearly in a way “the public can understand and use.” This can be particularly

Supplemental Security Income, and Medicare. Take a moment to learn […]
