Social Security Law

Social Security Law, as part of Administrative Law, governs the programs that provide financial support to individuals, such as retirees, disabled persons, and survivors of deceased workers. It involves rules and procedures used by government agencies, like the Social Security Administration (SSA), to determine eligibility for benefits and resolve disputes. This law ensures that individuals can appeal decisions regarding their benefits and that the agency operates fairly and efficiently in administering these crucial safety-net programs. Essentially, it provides a structured way for people to receive and contest government benefits related to social security.
