Your Input Is Needed: Equitable Access to SSA Disability Programs for LGBTQIA+ Communities
Date:
Dear Colleague,
Our next National Disability Forum (NDF), Equitable Access to SSA Disability Programs for LGBTQIA+ Communities, is scheduled for Thursday, February 17, 2022 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET. In preparation, we are gathering information from diverse stakeholders related to the forum's topics. Your feedback is important to us.
We have created questions that focus on important topics, such as the current challenges to access healthcare and SSA programs, issues with self-attestation of sex and gender markers, and data collection on sex and gender. We would like to hear from you, through Engage SSA, about the challenges the LGBTQIA+ community faces and possible solutions.
You can provide your responses through Engage SSA from now until Friday, February 4, 2022. Please see the Engage SSA guide for details on using the site.
If you have any questions, please contact us at OEA.Net.Post@ssa.gov.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Buckner
Associate Commissioner
