You can get social with Social Security

-

Social Security means many different things to many different people.

To a spouse who has lost their partner, it may mean a monthly check to help with childcare costs. For a wounded warrior, Social Security might mean a lifeline of income that improves their quality of life. And chances are you will rely on us one day as well.

Social Security provides millions of people with retirement and disability benefits. This means we need to be able to start a conversati­on and answer questions for those millions of deserving people.

Social media allows us to quickly help people in a cost-effective and agile way.

We use our Facebook page to share informatio­n about our programs, policies and services with our vast network of followers and advocacy groups.

We also monitor and provide quick-turnaround responses to select questions and comments that people post. We also hold Facebook Live events to dive deep into topics that matter to you. www.facebook. com/socialsecu­rity.

Our blog, Social Security Matters, gives readers informatio­n about a variety of topics, including our programs, online services, current events and humaninter­est stories, usually in greater detail than typically shared on our other social media platforms. Our blog encourages discussion and offers important retirement­and disability-related solutions. Find it at blog. ssa.gov.

Our Instagram page is a mostly visual outlet where we share our top 10 baby names of the year and other trend-setting stats. We use this page to share informatio­n about our programs, policies, and services. www. instagram.com/socialsecu­rity.

Do you prefer getting informatio­n from videos? Social Security’s YouTube channel is an archive of informativ­e videos: www.youtube.com/user/SocialSecu­rityOnline.

Our Twitter page is updated frequently with upto-date informatio­n that is easy to share: twitter.com/ socialsecu­rity.

Follow us today. Be part of the conversati­on.
