I support that. But I am concerned about ID thieves taking advantage of some of our seniors who get caught in scams.

Millions of hard working Americans rely on Social Security and deserve the peace of mind that their benefits will arrive safely and on time.

I hear what you are saying. And you guys over at Social Security need to figure out how to check with people when they get indications like that--I must get two or three a week, for crying out loud, where, you know, 'You won a billion…

There should be another way to do it, and Mr. O'Carroll can probably figure that out.

I am a little bit upset. First, CMS responded to a bipartisan letter from leadership of this committee over 12 months after the deadline.

I don't understand what is taking so long.

Aren't you being hypocritical, asking your service providers to do what you won't do?

I think it is unfair. But how dare CMS treat this committee, this Congress, and our nation's seniors with such contempt?

Well, they did it because they were able to and willing to make the change as they print new cards.

I think it is time that they have caught up with the rest of the world and started moving to an environment where the SSN is not on the card.

Well, it is all of us, both the Democrats and Republicans working together on this committee that have become upset about empty words.
