This July, explore Social Security's new frontier

[July 29, 2011]  Americans have been explorers long before we declared our independence on July 4, 1776.

Colonists were brave enough to venture across the seas to settle in the unknown frontier of the New World.  From there, westward expansion eventually took them from the east coast to the west. Then came the space race, and imagined places to explore. Shows like Star Trek called space the final frontier. But we’ve since found new frontiers, such as cyberspace.

If you’ve used Social Security’s website, then you know that cyberspace is no longer a strange, uncharted territory. Social Security’s online services are so easy to navigate, even Kirk could use them (as Patty Duke tells George Takei in one of our new public service announcements – check them out at www.socialsecurity.gov/boldlygo).

What are some of the things you can do easily at www.socialsecurity.gov?

There’s even more you can do at www.socialsecurity.gov. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to explore, look around our home page, read some of our publications, and take advantage of our most popular services at the left side of the screen. You even can chart a course for our frequently asked questions. 
 

It wasn’t fireworks and parades that made America what it is today. It was our adventurous spirit, our desire to explore new places. We encourage you to explore the final frontier for your Social Security business at www.socialsecurity.gov.
