If you know a #SeniorCitizen in your neighborhood, you should talk to them about having hard copies of their important #SocialSecurity documents. And you should help them get copies if you're able and if they're willing to trust you to help them.
Or send them to the local public library for help. If it's a decent #PublicLibrary then the staff might have the time and skills to help them.
A local #SeniorCenter might also be able to help.
Good luck out there and stay frosty.
What a cool library! I had no idea this even existed in Vermont/Canada and I am mad Amerikkka is ruining it.
