Social Security Administration

The United States Social Security Administration is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government that administers Social Security, a social insurance program consisting of retirement, disability and survivor benefits. The Social Security Administration was established by the Social Security Act of 1935 and is codified in 42 U.S.C. § 901. It was created in 1935 as the "Social Security Board", then assumed its present name in 1946. Its current leader is Commissioner Frank Bisignano. SSA delivers its programs and services online, by phone, by video, and in person through a network of more than 1,500 offices nationwide, including over 1,200 field offices. The agency also provides service through its National 800 Number. Field offices, which historically serve tens of millions of visitors annually, were reopened on April 7, 2022, following pandemic-related closures. SSA is headquartered in Woodlawn, Maryland, west of Baltimore, at its Central Office campus.
