Social Security Administration Fiscal Year 2003 Annual Performance Plan (APP) and Revised Final Fiscal Year 2002 Performance Plan

摘要

The Social Security Administration's (SSA) fifth Annual Performance Plan (APP) demonstrates our continuing commitment to managing for results and continuously improving our service to the American public. As the most successful domestic program in our nation's history, Social Security is fundamental to our economic security, and thus contributes to the basic well-being, health and quality of life of the American people. In this FY 2003 Annual Performance Plan (APP), we tell the American people, Congress, our employees and the 180 million citizens we serve the results we will deliver in FY 2003. Our APP is integrated with the President's FY 2003 budget request for SSA by clearly defining performance commitments for FY 2003 that the President's budget supports, both in terms of quantifiable public service and program integrity workloads and selected outcomes. This Annual Performance Plan is driven by Commissioner Barnhart's commitment to service, stewardship, and solvency; the five strategic goals in SSA's current strategic plan, 'Mastering the Challenge'; and the President's government-wide management reforms.
