Thanks, Vivian.
I have really mixed feelings about it because including the Social Security number with
the dates of birth and death makes it so easy for identity thieves. On the news the other
night was a couple whose infant son's information was used, and that must have been
horrible to be grieving the loss of their son while having to contest all the charges and
new credit obtained in his name.
On the other hand, I've been heavily reliant on the places and dates from the SSDI
online.
I need to go read the bill.

Subject: [GAGEN] SSDI call to action
Hello, all,
I realize that this list traditionally has been used only for project
business. However, there is a serious issue that affects us all.
There currently is a bill in Congress that would severely limit
access to the SSDI. Following are links to information on a "call to
action" to prevent this from happening.
The fourth link includes sample letters you can use.
