Hi Kathy,
That is what I thought. I doubt many of us on this list will be alive when
the SSA has to use alternative formats across the board.
Cordially,

John, There is a certified class for blind social security recipients in
which they are suing the SSA for accessible documents. That does not mean
that SSA is providing alternative formats for consumer's materials yet. And
they probably won't for some time while they spend the taxpayers' money
figuring out how to avoid it. They do hire blind people and they provide
general materials in braille at least. But your friend shouldn't expect to
see her consumer-related material in alternative format any time soon. Kathy
