Social Security Administration (SSA) Data Asset Catalog for
Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Language Preferences
On September 29, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13811 “Continuance of Certain Federal Advisory Committees,” which reauthorizes the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and the White House Initiative on Asian American and Pacific Islanders (WHIAAPI), within the Department of Education.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is an active member of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Federal Inter-Agency Working Group.
The Initiative will work to improve the quality of life of AAPIs through increased participation in Federal programs in which AAPIs may be underserved.
SSA's Open Government supports the Executive Order providing background information with quick and easy access to AAPI information. In addition, it is intended to be a resource in our efforts to better serve our AAPI public and beneficiaries.
The data includes Asian and Pacific Islander (API) language preferences captured through claims processes for Social Security Retirement, Survivors and Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income.
It also includes API language information on requests for telephone interpreter services call volume and the number of bi- or multilingual Social Security employees who volunteer their services as an interpreter and/or translator in API languages.
To learn more about our services, visit the SSA Multilanguage Gateway where you can read our Language Access Plan and obtain other publications.
