Welcome to the new SSA IT Issuance Library – the agency repository for Information Technology (IT) directives, directive-type memos, policies, procedures, and manuals.

The SSA IT Issuance Library replaces the Agency IT Policy Archive, and houses issuances related to Capital Planning Investment Control (CPIC) and Chief Information Officer (CIO) responsibilities. This library will be expanded to include other IT-related issuances, writing standards and templates in the future.

The SSA issuances contained on this website may not show the signatures of the authorized approvers.

For information regarding the writing of new issuances or the updating of current issuances, please visit the Issuance Toolkit page.

Questions regarding the SSA IT Issuance Library can be directed to: Issuance.Library@ssa.gov
