Data Plate Exemption Letter

[Steve Bralla]

SSA faxed me a copy of the Data Plate Exemption Letter. (The pdf file shows as
damaged when I tried to download it off the SSA web site.)
When I read the letter, it expired last year (October 30, 2002). Where can I
get a current copy?
Thanks,
Steve

I think there is only an "extension letter" which extends the original
letter.. should be a matter of record with SSA (I know.. bad pdf file)

The "bad .pdf file" problem was reported to the SSA office and to Steve
Brown by me well over a year ago and by many others since then. No one
connected with the web site seems to understand what a "bad .pdf file"
means. Or else don't really care. To those of use using the web site, it
means that you cannot get a copy of that important document from the web
site. If you care to look for yourself it is found under Government
News/Data Plate Exemption from the SSA main page.

I'll follow up with the SSA office to get the file issue corrected.
This is the first I've known of the issue. Please let me know of any
other problems.

I notified the SSA some months ago about the problem.
I sent an e-mail, but I don't remember to which person,
telling them of the bad file.

I could download the original exemption letter, but
not the extension letter.

Later, I sent another e-mail to Member Services, I
think, (or did I telephone them? I suffer from CRS...)
requesting the letter by fax, e-mail, or snail mail
and they mailed me the original letter and the extension
letter.

So, someone in the SSA should have known about the
file problem for some time.

I don't mind if they know there is a problem and they
have plans to fix it. What I do mind is they don't
have a statement on the web stating they know there
is a problem and will expect to have it fixed by a
certain date. Even if the date is a year from now,
at least they would be acknowledging the problem.
Since they can fax or mail the letters, it shouldn't
be a big problem for us, the members. We just don't
have the convienence of using the web for receiving
it right now.

try to open it after it is downloaded.. the extension letter is bad.pdf

maybe someone can publish this
letter on ras for all to copy?

[Andy Blackburn]

Try this for a zip file with the original letter and the extension through 2004.
