The Social Security Administration web page provides information and publications on disability benefits, retirement benefits, survivors benefits, Supplemental Security Income, the hearings and appeals process, work and earnings, and instructions on how to apply for common Social Security Administration benefits. This site also provides information in Spanish.

In October 1999, the Social Security Administration began sending out Social Security Statements to workers 25 years old and older who are not yet receiving benefits. If you have received one of these statements and have questions, check out the Social Security Administration's "My Statement" page.
