Social Security may not be top of mind on the curriculum agenda for educators but the agency is hoping, if you're looking for a topic to enhance a lesson, take a look at online resources for students.

Jack Myers with Social Security explains Social Security is an important federal program that touches the lives of most Americans. He notes they offer an educator’s toolkit to help introduce Social Security programs to young people. 

The toolkit contains two lesson plans 'what is Social Security and why is it important to me?' and 'is Social Security just for retirement and will it be there for me?'
