and they're not the same.

The irony of this is that I know locally here (and I suppose it's something that was a carryover from the Biden administration), there have been PSAs (Public Service Announcements) that run periodically through the day on my local news radio station about SSI and how people could apply for it. Every time I hear that commercial, I groan at the radio figuring that it is probably going to be completely torpedoed by 45... so they might as well pull the ad.

ETA - I found a page where they have the ads available (am not able to get the audio ones to work but the youtube versions do and have a different voice actor than the radio ad) - https://www.ssa.gov/thirdparty/groups/vulnerable-populations-psa.html
