Congressional Inquiries Guide |
SSA publishes the Congressional Inquiries Guide (Guide) to assist congressional offices with Social Security-related issues. The Guide contains an overview of SSA, descriptions of various aspects of the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income programs and useful SSA points of contact. It is available in printed and compact disk versions. If your congressional office does not have a copy, or you need an additional copy of the Guide, you may use our Request for the Social Security Congressional Inquiries Guide. |
