A friendly reminder this holiday season.

Something to add to the long list of things I wish able bodied people wouldn't do:
Please don't wrap decorations on the railings of stairways.
It's a common practice for the winter holidays, and a museum I visited today had fake autumn leaves wrapped around the metal railings running down their very steep steps.
Here's the thing: I can't safely go down steps without relying heavily on the handrail. This is ESPECIALLY true when the weather is cold and icy. If there's clutter between my hand and the rail, I'm way more likely to slip and fall.
Please save your festive decor for the architecture that isn't vital to the mobility of others.

Do not be fooled by scammers trying to get your personal information!

Social Security may call you in some situations, but will never:
👉Threaten you.
👉Suspend your Social Security number.
👉Demand immediate payment from you.
👉Require payment by cash, gift card, pre-paid debit card, internet currency, or wire transfer.
👉Ask for gift card numbers over the phone or to wire or mail cash.

You should look out for:
👉A caller saying there is a problem with your Social Security number or account.
👉Any call asking you to pay a fine or debt with retail gift cards, wire transfers, pre-paid debit cards, internet currency, or by mailing cash.
👉Scammers pretending they’re from Social Security or another government agency. Caller ID or documents sent by email may look official but they are not.

How to protect yourself and your family!
👉If you receive a questionable call, hang up, and report the call to our Office of the Inspector General.
👉Don’t return unknown calls.
👉Ask someone you trust for advice before making any large purchase or financial decision.
👉Don’t be embarrassed to report if you shared personal financial information or suffered a financial loss.

This a very important win for disability clients and social security disability recipients.

Trump's rule would have put thousands of people's disability benefits in jeopardy.
