> San Francisco, CA - April 24, 2008 On Wednesday, April 23, 2008, Judge
> William Alsup of the US District Court for the Northern District of
> California ruled that the US Social Security Administration (SSA) must

> The ruling came after SSA sought to dismiss a class action filed in

> of individuals who are blind or have visual impairments filed a class
> action lawsuit against SSA, alleging that the agency fails to provide

> large font or electronic text.
