Public Affairs Staff

Does your group have questions about Social Security?
Does your employer, agency or organization want
a Social Security representative to speak to them
about current Social Security programs and policies?
Are you a member of the media who needs
some information on Social Security?

If you answered YES to any of these questions
then we can help you.
