The Social Security Administration (SSA) is planning to implement an information exchange system with Equifax, a payroll data provider. This system aims to improve the administration of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) by automatically receiving wage and employment data. This data will help ensure accurate benefit payments and prevent errors or delays. The SSA is seeking comments from the public on the specifics of this proposed system by February 18, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Social Security Administration wants to get help from a company called Equifax to quickly check how much money people make, so they can pay them the right amount of help. They need people to tell them what they think about this plan by February 18, 2021.
