Katrina Victims - Call Social Security Administration
Terry Moran, ABC News’ Chief White House Correspondent, asked Scott McClellan, the White House Press Secretary, in a press briefing today (more about that later) how a Katrina refugee, who is the recipient of Social Security (e.g. retirement or disability payment) or some form of government benefit will receive said benefit. Mr. McClellan responded they could call the Social Security Administration. Better still, they have an 800 number, therefore no toll charges to worry about.
Sounds like "Brownie" has done a "heck of a job" restoring communications service in the devastated area spanning 90,000+ square-miles, installed thousands of public phones that don’t require money in the evacuation centers (e.g. Astrodome), and distributed thousands of mobile phones to the remainder.
Just give them a call. I’m sure there isn’t a hold time, no bureaucracy to prove who you are over the phone, and the check or medical supplies will arrive in a day or so.
