EVERY MONTH IS "NATIONAL SOCIAL SECURITY ONLINE" MONTH
Have you ever stopped to appreciate the many celebrations we enjoy in this country? For example, did you know that July is National Baked Beans Month? It's also National Hot Dog Month. If beans and hot dogs are not on your diet, that's okay--it's also National Blueberry Month! July also happens to be National Ice Cream Month-something almost as American as apple pie (National Apple Pie Month was in May). As you're marking your calendar to keep all of these festivities in mind, we want to make sure you're aware that every month can be National Social Security Online Month! As you're taking all of these commemorative foods out on a picnic (July is also National Picnic Month), take your laptop or tablet with you so you can visit www.socialsecurity.gov. Whether you want to see what's new at Social Security with our news section, find an answer to a question with our frequently asked questions section, or plan for your retirement with our "Retirement Estimator" or "Benefits Planners," you can do it all easily at our Web site. Make www.socialsecurity.gov a part of your recreation (July is National Recreation Month). Visit our History page to learn all about the history and early days of Social Security. Resting on a blanket under a tree is a fun way to spend a picnic, but if that begins to get boring (July is National Anti-Boredom Month), you'll want to tune into some of our fun public service announcements featuring Patty Duke, George Takei, Chubby Checker, and Don Francisco at www.socialsecurity.gov/pressoffice/psa-video.html. If you're feeling ambitious and ready to retire, you may even decide to apply online for benefits as you're enjoying your baked beans and ice cream. You can apply easily in as little as 15 minutes. Patty Duke and George Takei will tell you all about it in the online videos. If you go to our home page, you'll find our most popular services listed on the left-hand side of the page. These include getting or replacing a Social Security card, applying for retirement or disability benefits, applying for Medicare, and getting "Extra Help" with Medicare prescription drug costs. There is so much you can do at Social Security's Web site you may find yourself celebrating National Social Security Online Month throughout the year.

Kateri Tekakwitha-July 14 The daughter of an Algonquin mother and a Mohawk chief was born in 1656. When she was four years old her parents and brother died of smallpox. Kateri survived, but the disease left her scarred and her sight impaired. She was named "Tekakwitha," which means "she who bumps into things." Kateri's uncle took her in, and although she wanted to practice the religion of her mother, her uncle discouraged her. At the age of eighteen, Kateri began studying the Catholic religion in secret. After a time, her uncle gave his permission for her to become a Christian as long as she did not leave the village. There, she put up with ridicule because of her faith. In 1676, Kateri fled to Canada where she made her first Communion on Christmas, 1677. Although the last years of her life were difficult Kateri was known for her kindness and good humor. She died on April 17, 1680 and was canonized by Pope Benedict in 2012.
