Congratulations to the four Roma High School Mariachi Program students who earned seats in the prestigious 2023 TMEA All-State Mariachi!

Roma High had the highest number of earned seats in the competition of any other school in the Rio Grande Valley. The students will perform at the 2023 TMEA Convention in February together with the rest of the allstate mariachi members.

The students demonstrated their abilities musically through a two level tryout process and are now recognized as the best-ofthe-best mariachi musicians in Texas!

Be Aware of Scammers

Scammers frequently target the older and other more vulnerable members of our communities.

They pretend they are from Social Security or another government agency to steal your money or personal information.

Caller ID, texts, or documents sent by email may look official, but they are not. Fraudsters are calling to verify information about the 2023 cost-of-living adjustment for people who get benefits. Remember, this adjustment is automatic and a beneficiary does not need to verify anything. Social Security won’t ask you to provide information or money to get your benefit increase. We may email or text you about programs and services, but we will never ask for personal information via email or text.

These scams primarily use the telephone to contact you, but scammers may also use email, text messages, social media, or U.S. mail. Scammers pretend to be from an agency or organization you know to gain your trust. Scammers say there is a problem with your Social Security number or account.

Scammers pressure you to act immediately. Scammers tell you to pay in a specific way.

Know what to look for and be alert. Scammers don’t take days off and neither should you… when it comes to making sure you identify suspicious communications and report it. If you receive a questionable call, text, or email, hang up or don’t respond and report it at oig.ssa. gov/report

Scammers frequently change their methods with new tactics and messages to trick people. We encourage you to stay up to date on the latest news.
