@alecm as much as I am a supporter of the “if it works don’t fix it” mantra, I’m torn working with the antiquated norms of the #SSA. I can’t file a form online, and I won’t own a printer, so have to spend $2+ to print and mail their forms or go wait in line at the local office.
Update the code. The #FAA needs it too. I just won’t fly for awhile ?
