statements, which used to be mailed out every year and then fell victim
to budget cuts, are going to make a partial comeback. Starting this
September, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will resume mailings
at five-year intervals to workers who have not signed up to view their
statements online, an agency spokesman told Reuters. The statements will
