You also can get publications in Braille, in enlarged print, and even cassette or CD.

As Social Security celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, service choices continue to expand. These days, you can even get a personalized estimate of your future benefits and apply for those benefits online.

If you were planning to plug in the ear buds and listen to a little music tonight, why not play the Social Security publication you’ve been putting off?
