In April, we celebrate National Social Security Month and encourage you to know your Social Security by exploring what you can do online at www.socialsecu­rity. gov. Social Security is collaborat­ing with groups and organizati­ons around the country to host numerous events and activities to raise awareness about our many valuable benefits, services, and programs.
