Social Security Administration
Go to the Social Security Administration’s website at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OP_Home/rulings/rulfind1.html#YRT2014. Under Resources on the right side of the page, click “Our Program Rules” Scroll down to The Rulings, and click “Recent Social Security Rulings and Acquiescence Rulings.” Select any of the recent rulings listed, read the ruling, and answer the following questions:
What is the subject of the ruling you chose?
What is the purpose of the ruling?
Do you think it is helpful to the general public to be able to find and read these rulings on the SSA website? Why, or why not?
What other comments or questions do you have about the ruling?
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
