SSA and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) have recently received several reports of suspicious phone calls claiming to be from SSA. In one case, an automated recording states the person's Social Security number (SSN) "has been suspended for suspicion of illegal activity," and the person should contact a provided phone number immediately to resolve the issue. The call concludes by stating if the person does not contact the provided phone number, the person's assets will be frozen until the alleged issue is resolved. In another case, a caller claims to be from "SSA headquarters" and waits for the person to provide personal information, such as an SSN, address, and date of birth. In January, the OIG shared similar information from the Federal Trade Commission, which reported an increase in report of suspicious phone calls from people claiming to be SSA employees. SSA employees occasionally contact citizens by telephone for customer-service purposes. In only a few limited special situations, usually already known to the citizen, an SSA employee may request the citizen confirm personal information over the phone. If a person receives a suspicious call from someone alleging to be from SSA, cit- izens should report that information to the OIG at 1-800-269-0271. Acting Inspector General Stone continues to warn citizens to be cautious, and to avoid providing information such as your SSN or bank account numbers to unknown persons over the phone or internet unless you are certain of who is receiving it. "Be aware of suspicious calls from unknown sources, and when in doubt, contact the official entity to verify the legitimacy of the call," Stone said. If a person has questions about any communication–email, letter, text or phone call–that claims to be from the SSA or the OIG, please contact your local Social security office, or call Social Security's toll- free customer service number at 1-800-772-1213, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday, to verify its legitimacy. (Those who are deaf or hand-of-hearing can call Social Security's TTY number at 1-800-325-0778.) For more information, please visit or contact Andrew Cannarsa, OIG's Communications Director at (410) 965-2671.

Back in the 1950's, besides card games such as Bridge, Poker and Canasta, there was a game called "Mahjong". Mahjong is a tile-based game which was developed in China in the Qing dynasty and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. It is commonly played by four players. Many people have fond memories of playing this classic game. The Neal Senior Center would like to see what interest is in this game. If there is sufficient interest, a group will be set up with a future date and time to be announced. If you have a Mahjong game set, we'd love for you to bring it and be a part of the group! If you're interested in helping to start a Mahjong group, please call the Neal Senior Center at 704/482-3488. A list will be compiled of interested individuals. A group will be started if there's sufficient interest. e game of "Mahjong" Respite Group Did you know approxi- mately 80% of the care of older adults is provided within the home by fam- ily members?
