TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Social Security Disability Awareness Campaign Media Product Surveys


BACKGROUND:

As the Social Security Administration (SSA) moves to increased self-service, we believe it is

necessary to raise general public knowledge of the disability program. Soon the agency will

launch the Disability Awareness Campaign to address this concern.

Part of this campaign includes sharing communications products with third-party organizations that provide advocate services to the public. SSA will create a web page with various communications products such as PowerPoint presentations, newsletter articles, and online social media posts. The third-party organizations are encouraged to use these products when communicating with the public.

PURPOSE:

We will conduct an online survey of third-party advocate organizations who volunteer to provide feedback on quality and usage of our Disability Awareness Campaign communications products. These products will be available online to these third-party organizations. Our goal is to evaluate customer satisfaction of our Disability Awareness Campaign by determining the quality and effectiveness of our products and to measure the usage of these products by third parties.


Methodology:

  • A proposed third-party web page (Faces and Facts of Disability) will allow SSA to share communications products with third-party organizations. The web page will include folders for seven types of media products provided by SSA. Each of the folders will contain a survey link for third parties to answer a few questions on product usage and satisfaction using a web-based collection tool (Survey Monkey). Skips strategically placed in the survey will ensure there is minimal impact on respondents. The survey is voluntary.

  • SSA will share a general product satisfaction survey with third-party organizations one month after the release of the product website, and quarterly until the end of the campaign. We will use an automated web-based collection tool for the surveys. The survey will be easy to read and complete. Skips strategically placed in the survey will ensure there is minimal impact on respondents.
