Over the years the National Social Security Management Association has maintained a strong presence on Capitol Hill. Currently, the NCSSMA advocacy liaisons in Washington, D.C. are Sara Garland and Rachel Emmons of the Greystone Group. They regularly attend Congressional Hearings that involve Social Security. Reports are then written and distributed to all members through the Grassroots Committee within all Regions.

Members are encouraged to stay abreast of and become involved in proposals and legislation presented on Capital Hill that ultimately impacts SSA procedures, policies, and public service. Within each state there is an SSA management association member who services as a liaison for any issues that may arise within that state's Congressional or Senatorial districts. In addition, any SSA employee can log on and find out what's happening in the "beltway" at the click of a mouse on: www.ncssma.org/Government.htm
