The new application will use 'user-tested, plain-language questions' and 'seamless step-by-step transitions,' says the SSA.
The Social Security Administration has made a major update to its Supplemental Security Income application, hoping that Americans will be able to apply for benefits more easily.SSI provides monthly checks to Americans living with disabilities as well as older adults with limited incomes.For many, the current SSI application can be difficult to navigate, but the SSA hopes to address some of those issues with a new application that will go live in December.
According to the SSA's press release, the new application will use 'user-tested, plain-language questions' and 'seamless step-by-step transitions.' It intends to reduce the time Americans spend on their applications and the processing time for initial claim decisions.
