Use headings on all Social Security notices as shown below. A third line heading is
optional if none of the existing third line headings are appropriate.
1st Line Heading — Social Security Administration

4th Level of Heading — Subordinate headings (subheadings, captions)
Subordinate headings (subheadings, captions) are descriptive headings used in the body of the notice.
Subordinate headings help organize the notice content, break up the information into
understandable segments, and draw attention to specific topics contained in the notice.
It is important to ensure that your subordinate headings tell the reader what each
notice section covers. Accurate subordinate headings can help the reader locate essential
information. Subordinate headings should not be too long and should be shorter than
the content that follows.
See NL 10609.110B and NL 10609.115B for more information about the appearance of notice headings.
