Floridians, do you collect Social Security? A new scam is targeting YOU.

Being safe online is important every day. There may be days devoted to internet security awareness, but you need to be careful every time you go online.

Social Security continues to evaluate and improve how we protect what’s important to you. We take this responsibility seriously, and we have a robust cyber security program in place to help protect the personal information you entrust to us. Adding additional security measures to safeguard your personal information — but making them easy to use — is a vital part of keeping you safe and secure.

Fellow Floridians, IRS imposters are at their old game—but with a new twist. The IRS reports that this current scam is being reported across the country.

Michigan has about 100,000 job openings that employers have been unable to fill. At the same time, many older Michiganders are interested in part-time or full-time work and have skills and expertise that these employers may find attractive.
