Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, announced that Social Security is asking members of the public, as well as current and former employees, to help the agency celebrate its 75 years of public service by sharing their personal stories and reflections about how Social Security has touched their lives.
To share your story, go to www.socialsecurity.gov and click on the box that says “Social Security Celebrates 75 Years of Public Service.” Selected stories will be edited for content and brevity and posted for everyone to read.
“On August 14, the most important and successful domestic program in our nation’s history turns 75. For three quarters of a century, Social Security has provided a financial lifeline to millions of Americans.” Commissioner Astrue said.
“As we approach our anniversary, Social Security remains a solid foundation for retirees, the disabled, and survivors. I encourage everyone to visit our website, share their stories, and join me in wishing Social Security a happy 75th anniversary.”
Social Security is asking people to tell how the program made a difference in their lives and the lives of their family and friends. For example:
• How did it feel to receive your first retirement check?
• Tell us if you received survivors benefits when a loved one died.
• How has the Social Security disability program helped you?
• How did a Social Security Administration employee go above and beyond to provide you with great service?
• Current and former Social Security Administration employees: Share your memorable stories of service.
Social Security also invites the public to view a special photo gallery that takes them on a brief journey through the agency’s 75-year history. The photo gallery is available at www.socialsecurity.gov/75thanniversary.
