Social Security Administration

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is a U.S. government agency dedicated to providing financial support and services to millions of Americans. Its mission focuses on ensuring equity and accessibility in Social Security services, enhancing the customer experience, and addressing barriers to participation in its programs. The SSA plays a significant role in the lives of many through its various initiatives. The agency administers several key programs, including Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI), which offers retirement and survivors benefits, and Disability Insurance (DI), which provides support for disabled workers and their families. Additionally, the SSA manages Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for individuals with limited income and resources, and it assigns Social Security numbers to U.S. citizens and eligible residents. The SSA serves a diverse range of customers, including retirees, survivors, disabled individuals, low-income individuals, and families needing Social Security numbers for children.
