SSA

SSA, or Social Security Administration, is a U.S. government agency responsible for managing retirement, disability, and survivor benefit programs. It collects payroll taxes from workers during their careers, which fund these benefits. When individuals retire or become disabled, SSA calculates and disburses monthly payments to support their financial needs. Additionally, it issues Social Security numbers used for identification and tracking earnings. The agency also provides estimates of future benefits and administers related services, playing a vital role in providing economic security for millions of Americans throughout their lives.
