Electronic Signature EM Extended
Please note that SSA Emergency Message (EM) 20022 has been extended until June 13, 2024. This EM provides guidance on how the agency must process electronic signatures on certain forms.
You can view the complete language of the EM here.
If you find that SSA is not properly following this EM, please record the details of the noncompliance and email them to me so that we can escalate the issue within SSA.
Thank you,
