It’s Easy to Understand Why Social Security Earned Top Grades for Plain Language
The Social Security Administration (SSA) received the highest score of any federal government agency on the Center for Plain Language’s 2022 Federal Plain Language Report Card. According to an article by Big Rapids Pioneer in Michigan, because the SSA’s programs and policies are often complex, the agency strives to use plain language that is clear, easy to understand, and useful.
The Center for Plain Language evaluated 21 Executive Branch agencies for writing quality and organizational compliance, giving an A+ to F- grade. Social Security received an A+ for organizational compliance and an A for writing quality. The agency’s “Contact Us” page was the only one to earn an A+ and was cited as an excellent model to follow.
The Seniors Trust is committed to improving the financial well-being of America’s retirees through passage of The Social Security Expansion Act. It will give retirees an immediate benefits increase of about $200 a month, a fair annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) and increased minimum benefits.
