Dear Colleague:

Recently, Social Security launched an informative new web page that highlights the agency's many efforts in fighting fraud and protecting every worker's investment in the Social Security program.  The web address is www.socialsecurity.gov/antifraudfacts.

Visitors to this site will get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the hard work we do every day to fight fraud, waste, and abuse in our programs. The website includes information on the tools we use to fight fraud, spotlights some of our highly  successful anti-fraud efforts, and provides materials you can use to help us spread the word that Social Security has  zero tolerance for fraud.

I invite you to visit the website and use the materials to help us inform the public that Social Security takes fraud seriously and is very effective in limiting the instances of fraud.

We hope you will join us in disseminating the facts about our anti-fraud efforts as we work together to prevent the use of inaccurate information about fraud to advocate cutbacks in the disability program.

Please feel free to contact us at oea.net.post@ssa.gov comments—or to discuss further ways that your organization can collaborate with Social Security to raise awareness about our efforts.

As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership!

Sincerely,



Maria Artista-Cuchna

Acting Associate Commissioner

Dear Colleague:

Meet Larry, one of the many people receiving Social Security disability insurance benefits whose stories too often do not make the headlines.

Larry suffers from congestive heart failure.  Although his condition severely restricts his activity, he works as a cashier with the help of the Ticket to Work program.  His goal is to get a better paying job and, when he is able, stop receiving Social Security.  In December, we marked the 15th Anniversary of the Ticket to Work program, which helps people with disabilities, like Larry, who want to join or return to the workforce.

I invite you to take a moment to imagine what life would be like for you and your family if a disability like Larry's struck you unexpectedly.  How would you cope?  How would you pay your bills?  Social Security disability is insurance that workers earn and contribute toward through taxes on their earnings.  When a severe disability takes away a person's ability to work, Social Security is there to provide a critical lifeline.

Below is a link to a video through which Larry shares his story.  After viewing the video, we hope you will be moved to select "Share" to place it on your organization's website, include it in your social media posts, and distribute it to your email lists.  By sharing Larry's story, you can help us spread the word that our programs serve as vital financial protection for working men and women, children, the disabled, and the elderly when they need it most.

Select the image above to view or share the video. Please visit our Faces and Facts of Disability website for more personal stories, illuminating facts, and ready-to-publish educational materials. Please take advantage of these materials and help us convey the important message to the public that we need to protect this vital program for our most vulnerable citizens—those living with severe disabilities.

As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership!

Sincerely,

Maria Artista-Cuchna

Presentation:

Specific concerns discussed at this CPAC meeting include:

 Landscape contractors on Airport Center Road discarded pine needles and other waste into street

drains. This issue will be reported to the appropriate authorities.

 A Northwest Jacksonville Economic Development Fund grant to Church's an established national chain

already doing business at the site, gives unfair competition to the small business owners in the area.

Nearby vacant properties could benefit from the grant.

 Neighbors near (2015-0023) the proposed Boney Road development will lose their Greenbelt status. If

the development is approved, JFRD will no longer allow controlled burns in planted adjacent pine

forests because of proximity of fires to homes.

 Over 200 residents, 85% from zip code 32226, met at the Oceanway Community Center and opposed

2015-0023, the proposed Boney Road development. Concerns include change in lifestyle, increased

traffic and increased pressure on existing schools. Infrastructure and schools are needed before

development is approved.

code , to create a trust fund to allow the revenue generated from the JACKSONVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY from

Deny Rezoning 2015-064 Melissa Grove PUD and denied due to the following observations: The proposed use is not

consistent with the surrounding single family character of the area. The height of the proposed building is excessive

for the neighborhood. Parking spaces that block other parking spaces creates inconvenient and conflicting actions.

There are not adequate parking spaces for services vehicles and visitors. Traffic will have a significant adverse impact to

surrounding road system.

Hello Community Leaders,



Attached you will find the flyer for our next Ask-A-Lawyer event that will be held on Saturday, March 21st, 9:00-12:00, at SOS Academy, 6974 Wilson Blvd, 32210.  If you're willing to make some copies of the attached flyer for bulletin boards and to hand out to clients, patients, congregants, constituents, neighbors, patrons, etc., to help us pass the word that this valuable, free service will be available again on March 21st, we'd be very grateful.



At the Ask-A-Lawyer event, there will be about 15 licensed, pro bono attorneys ready to talk to individuals, one-to-one, in 15-minute interviews to answer legal questions and provide guidance.



Please forward this email to other leaders in our community including doctors, business owners, executive directors, principals, pastors, rabbis, teachers, social workers, community volunteers, and friends who can help distribute this information.



If you have contacts with any of our media companies and are willing to forward the press release and public service announcement,  that would be great, too.



Ask-A-Lawyer is in its 6th year of service in Northeast Florida.  It's all about taking legal guidance into neighborhoods to educate, encourage, and empower.  Pro bono attorneys have assisted hundreds of people to take steps to resolve legal matters at Ask-A-Lawyer events.



Many thanks for all you do in our community and thank you for helping us pass the word!



With sincere appreciation,

 FDOT Northeast Florida Unveils Safe Work Zone Video

Jacksonville – Road Work Ahead signs are going up all over the place these days as a "road construction boom" is underway in the Northeast Florida area. And it's only going to go up from here!



With more than $1 billion in construction projects underway, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) wants to provide our highway workers with safe locations to do their jobs.



Road workers are just like your office workers – except their offices are much larger and have no windows or doors! They, too, want to go home to their families each day.



FDOT is unveiling a 7-minute long video on YouTube about driving through construction work zones.  The video takes you through many recognizable construction zones in the Jacksonville area including the massive I-95 Overland Bridge project and uses local workers as well as FHP.



Click on the link below to view the video:



www.nflroads.com\safeworkzone



We hope our media partners will use parts of the video as PSA's to remind motorists why they should use 'common sense' when driving through construction work zones. Since the majority of deaths in construction work zones are either the driver or passenger, this message is very important for us to get out.

Ron

FDOT Traffic Advisory

Notice of delays scheduled on northbound and southbound I-95

Jacksonville – Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) advises that an operation to install overhead signs on Interstate 95 requires southbound traffic slowdowns early Thursday and Friday mornings.  The traffic pacing operation is scheduled from midnight to 4 a.m. each morning from one mile north of Emerson Street to Butler Boulevard.



Additionally, northbound traffic on Interstate 95 is scheduled to have slowdowns Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, March 17, 18 and 20 from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m.  The pacing of traffic is between Butler Boulevard and the Overland Bridge downtown.  The traffic slowdown procedure provides a gap in traffic long enough to place the girder over the travel lanes and secure it before traffic is released under it.



Traffic is controlled by off-duty law enforcement.



As always, motorists should use caution when traveling through the construction zone. For the safety of our workers, speeding fines are doubled when workers are present as required by state law.

FDOT began constructing a bicycle/pedestrian trail on Heckscher Drive

Jacksonville – Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has begun construction for a bicycle/pedestrian trail on Heckscher Drive (State Road A1A Timucuan Trail) from just north of Shad Creek Bridge to just south of Haulover Creek Bridge.



This project is part of the overall trail system along Heckscher Drive.  It builds the trail, provides drainage improvements, signage upgrades and other construction determined necessary during the project.  The 10 foot wide asphalt trail is approximately 4,000 feet long and is being constructed on the east (river) side of the roadway.



Lane closures are not allowed Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.  The majority of the work will be on the roadway shoulders requiring their closures.  Some lane closures may be necessary but they will be minimized.



FDOT hired American Lighting and Signalization, Inc., to build the project for $553 thousand.  Completion is scheduled in summer 2015.



For more information regarding this and other FDOT projects around the Northeast Florida area please contact Ron Tittle at 904-360-5457, ron.tittle@dot.state.fl.us and visit http://nflroads.com.

1:00 pm until 3:00 pm

at the Main Library, Hicks Auditorium

303 North Laura Street – Jacksonville, FL 32202

The Jacksonville Public Library invites you to join Readers Theater cast members as they give life to Stetson

Kennedy's works including The Florida Slave and Palmetto Country.

Folklorist and Jacksonville author Stetson Kennedy served as director of Ethnic Studies for the Florida division of

the Federal Writers' Project. His book The Florida Slave is a collection of the oral histories of ex-slaves living in

Florida, gathered by the Federal Writers Project during the 1930's. The collection relates the ex-slaves' hardships

under the system of slavery, the abuses of their civil and human rights in the aftermath of Reconstruction, and

their strength to survive and make contributions to American culture. Palmetto Country relates African American

lore gathered by Kennedy, anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, and folklorist Alan Lomax.

Did you know? With the recent interest in bridge inspections and ratings, the link below has some information on the bridge inspection program from Ross Hammock from Florida Department of Transportation's Northeast District Bridge Maintenance.  Thanks Ross for your help.

Also, to reiterate the status of the Fuller Warren Bridge in Jacksonville, it is NOT structurally deficient. The latest routine inspection for the Fuller Warren Bridge was performed on February 11, 2015.

Some bridges may be reflected by inspections as having a structure deficiency but it does not mean or imply the bridge is unsafe.

Please help spread the word.  Thanks.
