Return to Article: No agency left behind in hurricane relief effort

    Besides sending staff into the affected hurricane areas and offering volunteers, many local offices around the country are meeting the immediate needs of evacuees. Our Milwaukee staff have reissued 40 checks to relocated evacuees and have started the process to restore documents like lost Social Security Cards and most critically started benefit applications for those disabled by the storm.

    No agency was left behind except, apparently, the Social Security Administration. Rather than write a litany of what SSA is doing, I refer the writer, and readers, to SSA's Katrina Emergency web page at http://www.ssa.gov/emergency/. In addition to official activities, be advised that at least 200 SSA employees will be going to the Gulf area as volunteers for non-SSA-related relief activities (selected from many hundreds of applicants).

    It was nice to read about what all the agencies are doing, but how about information about what Social Security offices are doing to help.
