<p>Social Security fosters transparency, participation, and collaboration in our programs and operations. We identify information of great use to the public and work across organizational boundaries within the agency to make the information available in readily accessible formats. We also facilitate and encourage the use of emerging collaborative technologies to foster broader citizen participation in government business.</p>

<h2 class="bg-ocean-blue-500 pa2 white" id="crowdsourcing">Crowdsourcing</h2>
<p><em>Crowdsourcing</em> is a process in which organizations, like the SSA, submit an open call for voluntary assistance from a large group of individuals for online, distributed problem solving. The SSA actively engages in public crowdsourcing which helps inform our future policy and service decisions. Below, you will find active crowdsourcing communities where you can share your ideas.</p>
<p class="mb1"><em>Ideascale:</em></p>
<p>The SSA periodically uses Ideascale to obtain public input about Social Security related topics.</p>
