[Nfbf-l] Social Security

Sorry for this untimely post, but I must comment.  The Ada in title 3 says 
that anything in black and white must be in a format the blind can use.  If 
someone does read it to you, it must be read verbatum.  Social Security puts out 
their entitlement books, the ones that talk about the benefits, in Braille and 
large print.  I believe you can get it in a recorded format.  When my husband 
retired, the lady asked me how I wanted my communication sent.  I told them 
Braille.  Guess who hasn't gotten any communication.  Its much easier to put it 
in my husband's name.  He is sighted, so therefore they don't have to do 
anything but print.
 
Joann, being able to identify mail has nothing to do with rehabilitation.  
Its like the saying "all cats are grey at night."  In other words, you may get 
15 pieces of mail in a business envelope, but if you can't read the address, 
they all look the same.  Going on your premise, Dr. Mauerer hasn't been 
rehabilitated, because unless some one reads the address to him, or he uses his KNFB 
reader, he can't tell, so he hasn't been rehabilitated. JMHO.        Evelyn
