The Social Security Administration Makes Efforts to be Accessible to All People

In an article released in its April 2014 newsletter, the Social Security Administration (SSA) highlights the variety of ways it provides its services in order to accommodate people with disabilities. The SSA’s goal is to provide good customer service and to make sure that all people are able to access its programs and services.

All of the SSA’s publications can be found in PDF format on their website. Audio recordings of the publications can also be found on the SSA’s website.  Other formats of its publications and notices can be requested; examples include Braille, audio cassette tape, audio CD, or enlarged print. These requests can be made online or by calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213.

The newsletter states that this is in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This act was designed to prohibit federal agencies and programs that receive federal funding from discriminating against individuals with disabilities.
