Social Security hosts Facebook Live events

Social Security engages with the public in a number of ways. From news articles to blog posts and printed publications to tweets, we try to speak to as many people, in as many ways, as we can. Our Facebook Live events give you concise information in an easy-to-follow conversation.

Here are the topics from recent Facebook Live events:

• The Future of Social Security — Part 1. Social Security’s chief actuary, Steve Goss, talks about the future of Social Security.

• How to protect what’s important to you. National Consumer Protection Week 2018. Learn important consumer protection tips and how to safeguard your identity. The Federal Trade Commission shares information on how to protect yourself and your loved ones from falling victim to scammers.

• 5 things you should know about retirement. William “BJ” Jarrett, director of Social Security’s Office of Public and Employee Communications, and Marietta Jelks, editor in chief of the Consumer Action Handbook, cover several key topics that you need to know before you start receiving Social Security retirement benefits.

You can watch these vid- eos and more on our Facebook page at facebook.com/ SocialSecurity or on our YouTube channel under the “Social Security Live!” playlist at youtube.com/SocialSecurity.

These videos present our programs in a way that is easy to access and understand, to help keep you informed. You can share them with friends and family who are curious about preparing for retirement or the many programs Social Security provides.
