Gov Paterson - August is Social Security Diamond Anniversary Month

Posted on Aug 10, 2010

August 14 marks the 75th anniversary of the Social Security Program. In recognition and celebration, Governor David Paterson has proclaimed August 2010 to be Social Security Diamond Anniversary Month in New York State.

During the month, there will be numerous activities and celebrations developed by the New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) in conjunction with a number of partners. In the recent press release announcing the anniversary month festivities Paterson commented, "Today we celebrate not only the signing of the landmark legislation that resulted in the Social Security Program, but the achievement of one of our nation's great leaders, President Franklin Roosevelt, a native New Yorker. We know that the work and initiatives that President Roosevelt forged in New York State while Governor set the stage for what was achieved on a national level with the signing of the Social Security Act seventy-five years ago."

The Social Security Program provides key benefits to retirees, children, widows and the disabled. Social Security recognizes the financial hardship that results when a worker dies or becomes disabled and provides economic security to the millions of workers and their families who find themselves in this unfortunate situation.
