LEAVING SOCIALSECURITY.GOV--TO SUBMIT YOUR IDEAS

The purpose of Open Social Security is to create an ongoing dialogue on transparency, participation, collaboration, and innovation at Social Security. We also want to hear from you on how you think we could improve our Open Government Plan which is now under development. Your comments are important to us and we encourage your ideas. In order to foster a productive dialogue, we ask that you follow our posting ground rules.

The IdeaScale Terms of Participation are intended to support open discussion while ensuring a respectful exchange of ideas. You should review the full terms when you enter that site.  We reserve the option to review your ideas against these Terms before posting publicly, which could result in a delay. Ideas or comments will be removed from the site by staff if they include any of the following:

• Threatening, slanderous or obscene language
• Personal attacks
• Discriminatory language (including hate speech) based on race, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion or disability
• Sexually explicit material and other material that would violate the law if published here
• Ideas or comments that promote services or products (non-commercial links that are relevant to this web site are OK)
• Repetitive posts (for example, if you submit the same idea multiple times)
• Embedded media, such as videos or photos (but hyperlinks to such media are OK)
• Spam or undecipherable language (gratuitous links will be viewed as spam)
• Copyright infringement
• Personally Identifiable Information (e.g., social security numbers, postal and email addresses, phone numbers)

You participate at your own risk, taking personal responsibility for your comments.
The appearance of external, non-Social Security links on this site does not constitute official endorsement on behalf of the Social Security Administration.

We recognize that the Web is a 24/7 medium, and your comments are welcome at any time. However, given the need to manage federal resources, moderating and posting of comments will occur during regular business hours Monday through Friday. Ideas submitted after hours or on weekends will be read and posted as early as possible; in most cases, this means the next business day.
