After doing a soft launch of its new redesigned statement last spring, SSA has announced that statements have been redesigned “to provide information to people in clear and plain terms about Social Security’s programs and services.” The agency conducted extensive research, review, and testing to make the updated Statement easy to understand. The new Statement is shorter, uses visuals and plain language, and includes fact sheets tailored to a person’s age and earnings history. Examples of the new Statement and fact sheets are available here (PDF).
