Over The Top Press Release

This appeared in the Corsicana Daily Sun. It is obviously a Social Security press release, although it is attributed to the local District Office manager. I do not blame Social Security for trying to promote online services, but this is ridiculous.
As you’re preparing your Valentine’s cards, you may also want to join the millions of users who have fallen in love with Social Security’s online services. Here’s our own Valentine’s sampler of things you can do at www.socialsecurity.gov. ...

Whether you’re ready to apply for retirement benefits this month or you’re just interested in getting an estimate for future benefits, check out our website at www.socialsecurity.gov and go to the “What you can do online” section. We won’t try to take the place of your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day, but you may fall in love with our online services.

"Get a Password. If you already get Social Security benefits, there’s even more you can do online when you have a password. Anyone who gets benefits can get a password."

Yeah and the instruction notices sent to people to register a password don't match what is actually on the Website and the Bible was written faster than it has taken SSA to rewrite the instruction notices.
