NL 01001.140 Procedure for the Large Print (18 Point Font) Special Notice Option for the Blind or Visually Impaired

A. What happens when the person selects the large print option?

When a person selects the large print special notice option, we send the standard print documents using normal procedures. In addition, the notice system automatically routes the notice and other documents to a vendor to produce the large print documents. Large print documents are in 18-point font.

B. Why do we enclose a cover sheet with certain large print notices?

We send a cover sheet with large print notices that contains the notice recipient’s name and mailing address so the vendor can mail the notice in a window envelope. The language on the cover sheet is as follows:

“We sent you a standard print version of this letter in a separate envelope."

We send the additional language with these large print notices:

  • SSA and certain record specification notices that have an enclosed form for the recipient to return to us, and

  • All DDS-generated notices.
