We are evaluating new web pages for the Social Security Administration Internet site. We want to ensure that this site will be as easy to use as possible. We are not in any way evaluating you.
As you use the new web pages for this web site, we will be collecting information about the way that you use the screens to accomplish your goal. As you advance through the screens, we will also ask for your feedback concerning the ease of use of the web pages. We will also ask you some background questions to get more information about how you use the Internet to do your Social Security business. We expect the evaluation will take approximately XX minutes.
