A Message from the Associate Commissioner

We are developing an occupation information system (OIS) that will meet the requirements of the Social Security Administration’s disability programs. I am pleased to share with you the OIS Research and Development Plan that provides information about the research and development activities we plan to carry out. We will update this plan every fiscal year in order to reflect our progress and keep you informed of any modifications based on research findings or changes due to available funding and staffing.

OIS Research and Development Plan 

Thank you for your interest and support of our efforts.

Richard Balkus
Associate Commissioner
for Program Development and Research
