Child Neglect: Harm or threatened harm to a child's health or welfare by a parent, legal guardian, or any other person responsible for the child's health or welfare that occurs through either of the following:

• Negligent treatment, including the failure to provide adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medical care.
• Placing a child at an unreasonable risk to the child's health or welfare by failure of the parent, legal guardian, or other person responsible for the child's health or welfare to intervene to eliminate that risk when that person is able to do so and has, or should have, knowledge of the risk.

Call 311 in NYC or the New York State Central Register (SCR) directly at 1(800) 342-3720 . If the child is in immediate danger, call 911 .

When making a report, you will be asked for information to help identify and locate the child or parents/persons legally responsible for child, such as:

• Name and address of the child and family members.
• Child's age, sex, and primary language.
• Nature and extent of the child's injuries.
• Type of abuse or neglect, including knowledge of prior history of abuse or neglect of the child or siblings.
• Any additional information that may be helpful.

If the SCR believes the report warrants an investigation, the SCR will direct ACS to begin a child protective investigation.

Learn What Happens When You Make a Report

Mandated reporters are certain professionals mandated by New York State law to report suspected child abuse and neglect to the state hotline, the New York State Central Register (SCR).

Who Are Mandated Reporters? (PDF)

Mandated Reporters should call 311 in NYC or call the SCR's Mandated Reporter hotline directly at 1(800) 635-1522 . If the child is in immediate danger, call 911 .

If the SCR believes the report warrants an investigation, the SCR will direct ACS to begin a child protective investigation..

After calling the SCR, mandated reporters must also submit a written report.

If you are a mandated reporter, follow these steps to complete the written report: Submit a signed mandated reporter form within 48 hours of making an oral report. Mail the completed form to the ACS Borough Office where the child resides.

Download the mandated reporter form (LDSS-2221A) or visit your local Child Protection Borough Office. Find your ACS Borough Office.

How do I report elder abuse or abuse of an older person or senior?

Call the police or 9-1-1 immediately if someone you know is in immediate, life-threatening danger.

If the danger is not immediate, but you suspect that abuse has occurred or is occurring, please tell someone. Relay your concerns to the local adult protective services , long-term care ombudsman , or the police.

If you have been the victim of abuse, exploitation, or neglect, you are not alone. Many people care and can help. Please tell your doctor, a friend, or a family member you trust, or call the Eldercare Locator help line immediately.

You can reach the Eldercare Locator by telephone at  1-800-677-1116 . Specially trained operators will refer you to a local agency that can help. The Eldercare Locator is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

The laws in most states require helping professions in the front lines -- such as doctors and home health providers -- to report suspected abuse or neglect. These professionals are called mandated reporters.

• gather more information
• ask a social worker to look into it

The Piscataquis, owners of most of the Yukon, etc. would like very much to duplicate and improve the Social Security “system”. We have been insulted enough. We’ve long had trust funds funding much of the US military, now we would like to keep Social Security from being weaponized against the US’s interests. It’s petty cash for us. And we’re tired of being told we don’t exist.

$200 additional every month would be so very helpful. I’m not making it now…behind in property taxes, to cancel the life insurance which only cover cremation at today’s rate. I can’t really afford to grocery store except once per month. I did apply for Snap that was $16.00 per month. Plus additional payments for doctors and hospital bills…. Thanks for your interest. L. Jones

I would be very grateful for the extra money.

May 7, 2024 1:39PM

What a joke..post a list of trustees and how much money they are paid from OUR money!!! Put every dime back that our government stole from us! It’s OUR money! Where’s all the money from those who passed before retirement age? It belongs to family members not the government and or overseers!! Biggest scam ever!!

May 6, 2024 9:07PM

I want to personally thank The Honorable Joseph R Biden, The Honorable Hakeem Jefferies, Nancy Pelosi and all the dedicated, engaged, positive Democrats for common sense, thoughtful and sorely needed legislationing for The People. No faux swearing of fealty to incompetence, games and theft, no wasting time on lies, slander, hate and avarice, just good old fashioned representation. If you’re all about pissing, moaning, name calling and all the rest of modern “christian” behaviour…shut up, go home, yer drunk, w/no clue, willfully ignorant and just a weak minded “rube”.

Yes!!! Joe and Kamala care about All Americans! Our side wants the Social Security Administration healthy and to keep working for ALL Americans no matter party! Vote 2024!!!

Stop using the title “Honorable” on those who are clearly morally bankrupt.

May 6, 2024 8:33PM

This is the Biden camp smoothing “things” out pre-election in Nov. All govern. released stats ( employment, inflation, etc.) will be really good for next 6 months! Then after the election they will be “adjusted”.

May 6, 2024 8:43PM

You confuse political speech with professional analysis by career actuaries.

May 7, 2024 10:03AM

Yes, there will be more “giveaways” before the election, as well as our gas prices will decrease. After the election, gas prices will climb back up and the giveaways will stop, at least for 3 years – until the next election.

Drain the swamp! Start over America! We need representation with common sense! Spending on giveaways is only costing all Americans the “American Dream.”

The Military disabled and retirees make double what a worker makes on social security. Why? Why are American’s valued less than military when they are the people that gives the military a reason to protect? Also – they chose that line of work and we pay them and train them, providing for a much better career than someone going into debt and getting a college education, so why should they get more in retirement?

I’m also against giveaways for first responders and law enforcement. That is a profession they chose to go into, why should they get paid more or get special benefits for choosing to work in those professions – pay them what you think they should get paid through the employer, not through legislation.

The 2024 oasdi trustees report.

The 2024 OASDI Trustees Report, officially called " The 2024 Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Funds ," presents the current and projected financial status of the trust funds.

The Trustees Report includes many tables containing historical data and projections. For convenience, we provide the reader with links to view all of these tables in one place, without the accompanying text of the report. Note that the tables in the report generally present results only for every fifth year. Therefore, we also provide links to supplemental tables by single year for readers requiring more detail. Reference should always be made to the published report for context and explanation of terminology.

Documentation of Key Assumptions

• Demographic assumptions used in the projections that determine the actuarial status of the trust funds
• Long-range economic assumptions used in the projections that determine the actuarial status of the trust funds
• Long-range disability assumptions used in the projections that determine the actuarial status of the trust funds

See model documentation for a description of all assumptions and methods used in the projections.
