Our Commitment Goes Beyond Our Services
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: August 19, 2021
Social Security is here to help secure today and tomorrow with financial benefits, information, and tools that provide a level of economic security throughout life’s journey. This commitment goes beyond the services we render.
Through our work in serving the public, we know first-hand the challenges that many members of the community face. Every year, Social Security employees participate in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). The CFC promotes and supports charities and non-profit organizations by making it easy for federal employees to contribute personally and thus improve the quality of life for many.
Social Security also proudly participates in Feds Feed Families, an initiative launched in 2009 as part of President Obama’s United We Serve campaign. The Feds Feed Families effort helps food banks and pantries stay stocked.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which sponsors Feds Feed Families, more than 23 million Americans, including 6.5 million children, live in low-income urban and rural neighborhoods without access to affordable, quality, and nutritious foods. This summer, Social Security provided food donations totaling 661,280 pounds, which included non-perishable food, toiletries, and fresh food gathered from local farms or backyard gardens. We surpassed expectations and beat our totals from 2015 by 22%.
Our contributions came from employee donations and gleaning events in conjunction with local fruit and vegetable farms. Gleaning is the practice of collecting excess fresh produce from farms, gardens, farmers markets, grocers, restaurants, state and county fairs, or any other sources to provide it to those in need. Social Security employees, their children, extended family, and friends harvested nearly 30,000 pounds of sweet corn, which helped support food banks in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Acting Commissioner Carolyn Colvin said it best, “I encourage you to participate in this year’s CFC activities. We must continue our long-standing tradition of donating to causes and organizations that are meaningful to each of us.” Together we can make a difference in the lives of families in need.

Armilocho…sei un genio! Foto irbtsiseirile!!!Aky, sono felicissimo per te! Non capisco, però, come i tuoi familiari ti abbiano permesso di guardare il Napoli proprio ieri sera

There has been little in wage increase to keep up with he cost of living over the years. How do you compete with rental increases of 24% in a year if you are paid $10 or less per hour ? There is very little subsidized or housing assistance for hard working folks, with the increase in tolls for roads (that’s what the gasoline tax was supposed to subsidize roads, are only benefiting tire companies.) I digress I am trying to understand all of this I too have worked all my life paid into a system ,fortunately worked where I contributed to retirement plan and still Don’t qualify for rentals as I don’t meet the threshold of three time the rent.Why should a family have to work 21/2 jobs in order to pay somebodies mortgage.I’m all for making a profit but at what cost.Nobody as paid attention to the fact that automation has changed industrial employment, when I was a younger person you could find many jobs and secure them not so anymore. Lack of a progressive education that sorts out those who are academically inclined versus those who are technically inclined instead we allow the lower socio economic groups to fall and the complain about people surviving in this economy regardless of whose children they all need to have an education , the advantage of an investment in our future as they are the future ,What can we do to make it better?

SNAP virus HA-29-11-16
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) statute was amended in 2014 but a strange section pertaining to publicly operated community health centers (from 1985?) needs to be repealed at 7USC§212a. The October 7, 2016 SNAP budget analysis was restored to the Social Security Matters blog that the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) cut Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) spending Halloween 2013. This is deprivation relief benefits under 18USC§246. Total spending went down dramatically from a high of $76 billion in 2013, to $70 billion in 2014, and 8% decrease, and stayed at $70 billion in 2015 and then went down to $56 billion in 2016 a -20% decrease. The number of participants went down from 48 million in 2013, to 46 million in 2014 and 2015 and then to 44 million in 2016. Average benefits payments also went down from $133.07 in 2013, to $125.01 in 2014, to $126.83 in 2015 and $125.52 in 2016. Participants times average benefits equals $76.6 billion in 2013 and $70 billion in 2014 and 15. $125.52 times 12 times 44.3 million beneficiaries equals $66.7 billion but there is only $55.7 billion budgeted in 2016. Have they massively cut SNAP benefits or made an accounting error to complicate Vilsack’s second count of deprivation of relief benefits under 18USC246? I find that the SNAP spending table of October 17, 2016 are in error. No benefits should be cut as a result of this harmless accounting error. Because of the intentional decline in average benefit and spending the second conviction for deprivation of relief benefits stands under 18USC246. SNAP average benefits and total spending must grow 3% annually and the voluntary population should grow by 1% annually, 104% annual SNAP growth under Sec. 4 of the Social Security Amendments of January 1, 2016.
The federal and USDA budgets must not be impaired by these SNAP confessions of 2016. SNAP seems to have fixed the mathematical errors of October 7, 2016 on November 10, 2016 but continues to be wrong in regards to how much money they save by cutting benefits. FY2013 47.6 million received an average benefit of $1,596.84 for a total of $76 billion. Agreement Vilsack may have stolen a Christmas bonus with Halloween cuts. FY 2014 46.6 million people received $1,501.20 for a total of $70.0 billion. FY 2015 45.8 million people received $1,521.96 for $69.7 billion. FY 2016 44.3 million people received $1,505.4 for $61.1 billion but this calculates to $66.6 billion. As unpopular as he may have become, Vilsack is not a thief of a Christmas bonus for himself as it pertains to the Treasury this 2016 he’s a liar who is not immune for intentionally cutting average benefits of faultless beneficiaries under Sec. 204(c) of the Social Security act 42USC404(c) and 18USC246. Thanks for contributing 665,000 pounds of food to the Food Bank SSA. Cutting SNAP benefits is not the way to reduce federal agriculture spending. Cutting SNAP benefits is the way to be a villain whose accounting, computer crime, and cowboy coffee is not acceptable. The Agriculture Secretary must ensure 3% annual increase in benefits, 1% population growth for a total of 104% growth, 2.5% growth for other non-welfare USDA agency programs. SNAP seem to have fixed the mathematical errors of October 7, 2016 on November 10, 2016 but continues to be wrong. Due to the infringement of the SNAP homepage on my and my siblings birthday I am inclined to charge fees for having to restate the actual conviction of Agriculture Secretary Vilsack for two counts deprivation of relief benefits Halloween 2013 and 11:45 pm Thanksgiving 2016 norovirus cowboy coffee under 18USC246. Free range, free Hammond, free Presidential proclamation against no camping signs in the western national forest expansion, eminent domain for bike path to the lake and mountain access trails as high and far as the No Candies Trail. 3% annual SNAP benefit increase and 1% SNAP population growth for 104% annual SNAP spending, 2.5% other USDA program spending growth for average OMB federal spending growth of about 3% for the USDA including SNAP and nearly exactly 2.5% without SNAP. Maria Rodale for Agriculture Secretary, I read her Organic Manifesto and her family has published about organic farming for three generations.

I’m sorry I forgot to multiply by 12. I’ll have to do it a third time.

SNAP seem to have fixed the mathematical errors of October 7, 2016 on November 10, 2016 but continues to be wrong. The federal budget and USDA budget should not be impaired by lending credibility to these recent spate of SNAP account statements that may be malignant in the permanent record that is not secured by a hundred page report, like SSA programs are supposed to be but SSI still isn’t covered this 2016, except by me. Due to the infringement of the SNAP homepage on my and my siblings birthday I am inclined to charge fees for having to restate the actual conviction of Agriculture Secretary Vilsack for two counts deprivation of relief benefits Halloween 2013 and 11:45 pm Thanksgiving 2016 norovirus cowboy coffee under 18USC246. Free range, free Hammond, free Presidential proclamation against no camping signs in the western national forest expansion, eminent domain for bike path to the lake and mountain access trails.
Once again, the November 10, 2016 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) data: FY2013 47.6 million people received an average of $133.07 for a total cost of $76.066 billion, that is now adding up to $63.34 billion, this seems to be the new error. The overall deception seems to be that Vislack must perjure to reduce benefits. The SNAP account and the USDA budget will have to be thoroughly reviewed by the new President and I. FY 2014 46.7 million persons received an average benefit of $125.01 bringing total spending down to $69.998 billion that calculates to $58.4 billion. FY 2015 45.8 million people received an average benefit of $126.83 costing $69.7 billion that calculates to %58.4 billion. FY 2016 44.3 million people received $125.45 costing $61.1 billion that calculates to $55.6 billion.
The SNAP confessions of October 7, 2016 and November 10, 2016 are both mathematically wrong. The facts are that Vilsack admits to two counts of deprivation of relief benefits 2013 and 2016 and is not fit for office due to his inability to account for the SNAP program. Maria Rodale for immediate bipartisan Presidential nomination as Agriculture Secretary on the 3% annual SNAP benefit increase and 1% SNAP population growth for 104% annual SNAP spending, 2.5% other USDA program spending growth for average OMB federal spending growth of about 3% for the USDA including SNAP and exactly 2.5% without SNAP budget platform.
