Simplifying and streamlining the reporting requirements allows SSA staff to process applications more
efficiently. With less time needed to review extensive work histories and fewer minor job details to verify,
cases can be handled more quickly.
As a result of reduced processing times, applicants can expect faster turnaround on their applications.
This helps alleviate long wait times that have historically been a challenge for individuals seeking
benefits.
The combined effect of reduced reporting burden and enhanced data quality contributes to a more
streamlined application process. This not only benefits the applicants by expediting their cases but also
improves the overall efficiency of the SSA’s operations.
