Purged Files

I mention this because it may be of help to people outside the Social Security Administration planning Social Security training. A recent Social Security contracting notice makes a passing reference to some purged files that Social Security has created. Apparently, these are realistic Social Security disability files, but with all information that might identify a particular person purged. These files are used for training purposes. Creating this sort of file is no mean feat. Others outside Social Security could use purged files for training purposes. They may be obtainable by Freedom of Information Act request.
