What does Social Security Mean to YOUR Family?

A social security card and a calculator on top

If nothing is done to improve Social Security, benefits will have to be reduced by about 25 percent.  We are encouraging the candidates to tell voters how they would make Social Security sustainable for future generations.  Tell us your story about what Social Security means to your family.

Here's how to do it:  answer the questions below by typing them out in a document or in the body of an email.   Email us the document with a photo of yourself (selfies are fine)!  Include your Twitter handle, if you have one, so that we can tweet at you!

Look for your story to appear on our website, our Facebook page, and in our Twitter feed!
