E-Mail To Social Security Employees

A Message To All SSA And DDS Employees

Subject: Do Not Open Mail

We do not have complete information, but we want you to know that there have been two explosions in the mailrooms of two Maryland State government facilities. At this time, we cannot rule out the possibility of hazardous materials. While we have no reason to believe that our facilities have been targeted, in an abundance of caution, we are taking the following precautions. Effective immediately and until further notice, no one should open any mail, including packages. Managers have already issued specific instructions to mailrooms. All employees should be vigilant about any suspicious activity. If you see anything suspicious, immediately notify your supervisor and call 410-965-2222.

Michael J. Astrue

As if "sitting there" is unusual? I know in my overworked field office many CRs are weeks and weeks behind in their mail. And their claims. And their phone calls.
