The Social Security Administration (SSA) is the independent agency that administers U.S. Social Security — retirement, survivors, and disability benefits. It determines eligibility and makes payments, running a massive benefits program touching nearly every citizen.
Benefits are adjusted annually for inflation, and the program's long-term financial sustainability is a standing policy issue. It is one of the federal agencies closest to everyday life.
