The Social Security Statement: How It Can Be Improved

August 2009

The Social Security Statement is one of the chief vehicles that SSA has for communicating with the public, making it imperative that the information provided on the Statement is objective and presented clearly, accurately, and understandably. The information provided on the Statement also plays a significant role in educating the American public about the program and its benefits. In this report, the Social Security Advisory Board examines the current Statement and suggests ways that it could be improved.
