National Social Security Month Is Here!

April is National Social Security Month, whose theme this year is "See what you can do online!" writes Bob Patterson, the Acting Associate Commissioner for External Affairs for Social Security . "From estimating or managing your benefits, to requesting a replacement card, and retiring online, Social Security's online services are here to put control at your fingertips," Patterson says. "For more than 80 years, Social Security has transformed to meet the changing needs of our customers. Today, you can apply for retirement, disability, and Medicare benefits online, find answers to more than 200 of your most frequently asked questions, and much more." Patterson says the agency wants organizations to leverage its social media toolkit and accompanying high-resolution images to educate their members and constituents during the month of April.
