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 don't work anymore, they can get money from
Social Security. When people die, their family can get money from Social
Security.

Social Security and
Work |
A big mouth rabbit bragged that he was so fast no one could out run him.
I told the rabbit, "I'll race you." The rabbit dashed so far
ahead of me that he thought he had time to take a nap. I am slow, but
I passed the rabbit while he was sleeping and I WON the race!
The Moral of the Story: Slow but
sure wins the race! With Social Security everybody wins.

Social Security and
Work |
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. People use Social Security to build for the future.

Social Security and
Insurance |
When
I used to chase the cows, I couldn't get them because they stuck together.
I was able to get them, one by one after they fought and separated.
The Moral of the Story: United we
stand: divided we fall. Social Security protects everybody.

Social Security
and Saving |
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 will
be there for you when you need it. |
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 back every month with a Social
Security check.

I'm a
Social Security Card. |
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.
