My holiday gift guide doesn’t include a box of chocolates or tickets for a Caribbean cruise. This is a boring old Social Security column, after all, so my gift suggestions are related to that government pension program. Near the top of my list is my absolute favorite Social Security publication. Called “Fast Facts and Figures About Social Security,” it’s just crammed with interesting and useful information about the program.

The good news is that they squeeze all that information into a booklet. The 2022 edition is only 43 pages long.
