Social Security Website for Children

The Social Security Administration has produced a website designed for children they call the Kids' Place. Below is an excerpt. The layout is changed significantly by the transition to this format. This is a surprising way for SSA to use its scarce administrative budget when there are dramatic staff shortages throughout SSA and it is taking over two years in some areas of the country for a disabled person to get a hearing on their Social Security disability claim.

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.
