Important Information: Changes In Certain Services

To meet the increasing demands for our service, we need to make changes to how

we provide some services to our customers. To protect the integrity of the Social Security number and prevent fraud, we will discontinue providing Social Security number printouts effective August 1, 2014. If you need proof of your Social Security number and you do not have your Social Security card, you will need to request a replacement Social Security card by completing the Application for a Social Security Card (Form SS-5) and providing the required documentation.

Also, in January 2013, we made benefit verifications available online. Now you can save a trip to a field office by getting an instant letter online with a personal my Social Security account, or you may continue to call us toll-free to request a letter by mail. Since we now offer more convenient services, beginning on October 1, 2014, we will offer benefit verifications in our field offices only in emergency situations, in cases of hardship, or when a benefit verification is needed and cannot be obtained through another service channel. Our local offices will continue to do all that they can to assist members of the community.

See steps below for requesting a replacement Social Security card or obtaining your benefit verification letter. We also encourage you to visit www.socialsecurity.gov to learn about the many convenient online services available to you.

How to get replacement Social Security cards

Your Social Security card is your legal proof of your Social Security number. If you need proof of your number, and you can’t find your card, you will need a replacement card. To get a replacement card, you must complete an Application for a Social Security Card (Form SS-5), which you can find online at www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber. You also will need documents proving your identity, age and citizenship or lawful immigration status.

In most cases, you can take, or mail, your completed application and original documents to any Social Security office. Go to www.socialsecurity.gov/locator to find the Social Security office or Social Security Card Center that serves your area. After processing, we will return your documents to you.

How to get benefit verification lettersIf you need proof of your Social Security

or Supplemental Security Income benefits, you can get a benefit verification letter online instantly through a my Social Security account. To create an account, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. With my Social Security, you can easily view, print or save an official letter that includes proof of your:

Benefit amount and type;Medicare start date and withholding amount (if applicable); andAge.If you are unable to go online, you can call

our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to request your letter be mailed to you. You also can use your annual cost-of-living adjustment notice or SSA Form 1099 as proof of income from Social Security.

For more informationA wealth of information and online

service options are available on our website at www.socialsecurity.gov. Or you can call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), and ask for helpful publications, such as:

WELLNESS PROGRAM JULY - SEPTEMBER 2014

The most important component of the Wellness Program is YOU! Healthy

living helps to prevent chronic disease and certain disabilities. It can

ensure that today’s older persons as well as future generations not only

live longer, but also live better. It’s never too late to adopt healthy lifestyle

habits. The Wellness Program can help you start a personal wellness

program or provide you the support you need to maintain your wellness

goals.

- The Wellness Program at Central West, Southeast (Atlas) and the

Southwest Senior Centers is provided by the Bowman Center/Rush

University Medical Center.

- The Wellness Program at the Northeast (Levy) Senior Center,

Northwest (Copernicus) Senior Center, and Renaissance Court is

provided by White Crane Wellness Center.

At each senior center, the latest information on healthy living and disease

prevention is provided through monthly talks with the wellness nurse,

social worker, dietitian, and pharmacist.

Take a look at the wellness schedule at the center nearest you and meet

the wellness team. It is the first step to a healthier lifestyle.

PHARMACIST PRESENTATIONS

Knowing Your Vitamins, Supplements and Herbal Products Many seniors seek self care through over the counter medications, supplements and herbal products. Certain medical conditions, lifestyle habits or passed on beliefs require the use of these products to provide self care and promote health. Starting at "A" for ascorbic acid (also known as Vitamin C) and ending with "Z" for zinc, we will look at common vitamins, minerals, and herbal products and review the latest research on their uses, recommended amounts and potential consequences of over- or under-use.

AUGUST PRESENTATIONS

NURSE PRESENTATIONS “Tract” Trouble: GI Disorders and Constipation Many diseases of the colon and rectum can be prevented or minimized by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, encouraging regular bowel movements through diet and exercise, and having regular cancer screenings. A proper diet includes adequate fiber intake and exercise – both key factors in the prevention of GI problems. This month’s discussion will include an overview of gastrointestinal concerns including constipation, IBS, colitis, hemorrhoids, diverticulosis and polyps.

SEPTEMBER PRESENTATIONS

NURSE PRESENTATIONS Affordable Care Act: Health Coverage for All The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has shifted our health care system from one that focused on treating the sick to one that focuses on keeping people healthy.

Come to this month’s discussion to learn about how the Affordable Care Act affects you.

WAIVERS: Every trip/event participant must register by completing and signing a Senior Services Emergency Contact/Waiver. RESERVATIONS: Reservations are not guaranteed until the ticket is paid for. Please do your best to register as early as possible, since many of our trips and events fill up quickly. REFUNDS: In order to make programs available to as many people as possible, we do our best to keep costs low. We base the cost per person by dividing the cost of the outing by the number of people we expect on the bus. We therefore regret we are unable to give refunds or discounts. However, if we have a waiting list and are able to sell your seat on or before the day of the trip, we will be happy to refund your money. Otherwise, we suggest you give your ticket to a friend as an “early” birthday or holiday present. Naturally we will refund your money if an event is canceled or significantly altered by Senior Services. WHEELCHAIRS: If you use a wheelchair and would like to participate, please contact us at (312) 746-4798 to discuss arrangements. TELEPHONE NUMBERS: When you register, make sure that you provide us with your phone number. Sometimes, in order to fill buses, we need to combine two locations. This can result in a change in the date of your program. If we have your phone number, we can contact you to work out these details. PROMPTNESS: Most of our events and trips are on tight time schedules, and it is our policy to leave promptly at the stated departure time. This makes us unable to wait for latecomers. We regret that no refunds can be given to tardy participants who miss a bus. NAME TAGS: We require participants to wear name tags as identifiers as part of our safety procedures. COURTESY: Participants who go on our outings are expected to cooperate with group leaders, bus drivers and staff, as well as key persons in charge at the point of destinations. Any seniors or group leaders who are uncooperative - by being late, refusing to accommodate reasonable requests, or showing rude or anti-social behavior will be denied access to future trips, programs and events for the safety and comfort of the rest of the participants.

ABOUT OUR TRIPS AND EVENTS

30

ABOUT OUR TRIPS AND EVENTS CONT… GROUP ISSUES: Group leaders must obtain reservation numbers to register for trips. Payment must be made by the Money Due Date given at time of registration. Unless otherwise designated, Group leaders are given one complimentary ticket when leading 19 or more participants. When two groups share a bus, the first group boarding the bus should fill in the driver’s side of the bus, leaving the passenger side for group two. Front seats by the driver are reserved for the group’s leader or Family & Support Services staff. Group leaders are responsible for taking attendance to make sure everyone is accounted for and for bringing emergency forms for each participant. Group leaders must immediately let staff know of any accidents or incidents that occurs during the trip. (We salute the energy and dedication of our group leaders! We couldn’t host these programs without them). ACCOMMODATIONS FOR PERSONS WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENTS: If you need a sign language interpreter for any of our lectures, programs or classes, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make the necessary arrangements. You can let us know by either calling your center on your TTY, writing a letter, stopping in or asking a friend to contact us. We welcome your participation. PARKING: The five Regional Senior Centers have adjacent free parking. Regrettably, Renaissance Court has NO free parking, but plenty of public transportation options. PREPARATION: Since some of our outings require walking, climbing or varying amounts of stamina, participants are responsible for learning about programs and trips before signing up for them, paying close attention to all trip details and any trip advisories or cautions. Proper footwear and clothing are the participant’s responsibility. Diabetics may want to consider bringing their own snacks should they have concerns about an event’s meal service time. EXTREME WEATHER WARNING: In case of severely hot, cold or extreme weather please call centers to confirm trips and events. DISCLAIMER: Senior Services is not responsible for opinions or recommendations of vendors or facilitators.

Influenza (commonly known as “the flu”), is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease,

especially in adults 65 years of age and older.

Influenza, also known as “the flu,” is a common respiratory infection caused by several related viruses.

The flu is easily passed from person to person through coughing, sneezing, or through contact with fluids from an infected person’s mouth or nose.

Symptoms of the flu often include high fever, headache, tiredness, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and body aches.

As we get older, our immune system typically weakens. This generally makes it harder for us to fight disease and may also make us less responsive to vaccines. As a result, adults 65 years of age and older are at increased risk of flu and its complications. For example, the influenza virus can cause worsening of chronic conditions and it can lead to death.

Each year in the United States, nine out of 10 flu-related deaths and more than six out of 10 flu-related hospital stays occur in people 65 years of age and older.

The flu can worsen other health problems.

The flu is especially dangerous for people with certain conditions that commonly affect older adults, including heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and cancer.

People with these conditions are more likely to develop complications from the flu that can result in hospitalization and even death.

The best way to help protect against the flu is vaccination.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the single best way to prevent the flu is to get an annual vaccination, which is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older.

Despite these recommendations, immunization rates among adults 65 and older are still far below public health goals. The leading reason older adults do not get the flu shot is not being aware they need it.

Receiving the flu vaccination each and every year is the best way and first step to help protect yourself from the flu and spreading it to friends and family.

There is a vaccine that is designed specifically for adults 65 years of age and older.

Adults 65 years of age and older have vaccine options. In addition to the traditional flu vaccine (which helps protect against three strains of the flu virus), there is also a quadrivalent vaccine (which helps protect against four strains), and a higher dose vaccine.

By improving the production of antibodies in older patients, the higher dose vaccine can provide a stronger immune response to influenza than traditional vaccines.

These vaccine options are widely available at a doctor’s office or local pharmacy. An annual flu shot is a Medicare Part B benefit – this means that the vaccine is covered with no copay for Medicare beneficiaries 65 years of age and older.

Protect. Learn. Understand. Safeguard.
