The agency says it is trying to be more inclusive for nonbinary and transgender people. It should also make it easier for transgender people to access government services.
The Social Security Administration says the agency will now allow people to select a sex that aligns with their gender identity and expression on official records.
Kilolo Kijakazi, SSA acting commissioner, said the policy is a “commitment to decrease administrative burdens and ensure people who identify as gender diverse or transgender have options in the Social Security Number card application process.” SSA says the agency will accept an applicant's self-identified sex designation of male or female,"even if it is different from the sex designation shown on identity documents, such as a passport or state-issued driver’s license or identity card."
