Issue 50.12
One of the most popular traditional holiday songs is “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” It’s been a holiday favorite since it was published in 1780. Last year, we introduced our own classic: “The Twelve Sites of Social Security.” It was a big hit, so we’ve remixed it for the new holiday season.
For the first site of Social Security, we present to you: our home page, www.socialsecurity.gov. It’s the place to go for all things Social Security. Everything you could want — from online services and benefit screening tools to publications and press releases — you can find easily from this starting place.
For the second site of Social Security, we present to you: our brand new online Statement. You’ll find it at www.socialsecurity.gov/mystatement. The Statement provides you with a personalized estimate of future Social Security benefits — retirement, disability, and survivors.
