TIP FOR THE NEW YEAR!
The Social Security Administration recommends leaving your Social Security card at home. The SSA released a statement cautioning those who carry their cards in their wallets. Scams are at an all-time high, and you need to safeguard your documents. The physical card is not necessary for most activities.

Happy New Year from the SARPC AAA!
