Good morning,



I hope this email finds everyone safe and healthy.  I wanted to share the
article below highlighting the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  In
addition, I wanted to ensure you that Social Security is open.  Although
our brick and mortar buildings continue to be closed for in office visits,
we are still providing services to the public.  Along with our standard
services that can be accessed via telephone or through our website: ssa.gov,
if you are looking for information or educational services, I can provide
you with free virtual seminars.  Whether you are searching for information
about Social Security disability, Supplemental Security Income,  or even
your own personal retirement, I will be happy to create a seminar tailored
to your organization’s needs.



Please feel free to reach out to me for more information.



Sincerely,



Kimberly Stephens
Public Affairs Specialist
