Social Security helps people help themselves!
People work and give a little money to Social Security. When some people
get so sick that they can't work they get money from Social Security.
When people get older and can't work anymore, they can get money from
Social Security. When people die, their family can get money from Social
Security. |

I was trying to get a drink
of water, but I couldn't reach the water in the bottom of the pitcher.
I dropped stones in the pitcher to make the water rise to where I could
drink it. It was a lot of slow work, but it was worth it in the end.
The Moral of the Story: Little by
little does the trick. Social Security helps people to build for the future.

When I saw an ant moving
an ear of corn, I invited the ant to stop working so hard and relax with
me. The ant said he had to keep working to store for the winter. When
winter came all the ants shared the corn they stored and I had no food,
so I was very hungry.
The Moral of the Story: We need to
prepare for the future. Social Security helps you save for the future.

Social Security is your
piggy bank for the future. You save by making payments of part of your
pay to Social Security as you work. Later when you can't work Social Security
will pay you Social Security checks.

I am red, white
& blue. You should have a card with your own special number, which
will be the same number for life. Your parents could have gotten you a
card when you were born. Ask your parents if they got you a card. If you
do not have a card have your parents apply for one for you.
