Social Security Administration (USA)

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for managing social security programs, primarily focusing on retirement benefits, disability insurance, and supplemental income for low-income individuals. It oversees the collection of payroll taxes, which fund these programs.
