Found out something today, that I was not aware of. Any American citizen has the right, and the ability, to request a copy of any SSI document. </font>

Freedom of Information Act?
Methinks this should raise the blood pressure of the next screening manager who gives me the BS SSI excuse when I demand an explanation for the illogical shoe carnival.

SSI information can only be released to persons who have a "Need to know" the information. You can request the information through the FOIA but don't expect anything for about 4 months if it is released and don't think there will be information in it. The great magic marker trick will probably be used.
