The online tool provided by the government is intended for use by the holder of the Social Security number, not by third parties.

Also, if a storm damaged a branch and it is imminent that the branch may fall off soon, a neighbor can trim the branch back.

Televised local candidate debates held prior to election day are another instance in which the public candidate platforms are available for public viewing. In certain locations, local interest groups, such as the League of Women's Voters, sponsor candidate forums that allow the public to hear candidates for office gather together and discuss their platforms and issue positions in a situation less relaxed than in a debate. Such candidate forums typically also air on television, providing access for viewers unable to attend in person.
