SSA's Plain Writing
Social Security’s Office of Open Government (OOG) fosters transparency, participation, and collaboration in our programs and operations. OOG leads agency activities to develop, implement, and track progress on plans to make SSA more open and accountable to the public. As the agency lead for Open Data activities, OOG identifies information of great use to the public and works across organizational boundaries to make the information available in readily accessible formats. We also facilitate and encourage the use of emerging collaborative technologies to foster broader citizen participation in government business.
We develop and publish SSA’s Open Government Plan every two years – the first in June 2010 and the latest in September 2016 Open Government Plan 4.0. We developed our Open Government Plan based on input from the public, Social Security advocates, and our employees. Our new plan includes several high-profile agency projects and initiatives that utilize Open Government principles and techniques to further the agency’s mission. They include our flagship initiative, the National Disability Forum, as well as Customer Engagement Tools, Data Exchanges, Analytics Center of Excellence, Work Incentives Planning and Assistance Programs, and Health Information Technology.
We encourage you to visit our Open Government website often to learn about our efforts and to follow our progress in implementing our plan. You may also share your thoughts or suggestions through email at open.government@ssa.gov. We look forward to hearing your ideas!
