Move eases burden on millions of customers: “Today, the Social Security Administration (SSA) announced progress this year to reduce customer burden by transitioning wet (physical) signature requirements to digital signatures for over 30 forms as well as removing the signature requirements altogether for 13 forms. These actions simplify application processes for people, including removing a potential reason for claims to be sent back or denied. To build on this progress, SSA is considering removal of signature requirements on other forms that would ease requirements on about 1 million additional transactions. [h/t Pete Weiss]
