Introduction

Our FY 2019 AFR provides information enabling the Congress, the President, and the public to assess our stewardship of the financial resources entrusted to us and our performance as an organization. The report provides a discussion of our programs, organization, and how we benefit the public; a high-level summary of our accomplishments during the year; a discussion of the challenges we face going forward; and an analysis of our financial position. The AFR also includes information on our program integrity efforts, as well as the Inspector General’s Statement on SSA’s Major Management and Performance Challenges. The report includes our annual audited financial statements and the report on the audit of those financial statements. FY 2019 marks the 33rd year that we published audited financial statements and the 26th year that we received an unmodified opinion on our financial statements.

We divided the online AFR into the following sections:
