Social Security joins you and your family in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15.
We know the contributions of Hispanics can be traced to before the origins of the United States with the discovery, exploration, and naming of many places in our nation, such as state names like California, Colorado, and Texas and city names like San Antonio, Santa Barbara, and Boca Raton. Hispanics have influenced every facet of life, from language to our cultural development. Hispanics play a crucial role in American life.
The most important things to you are your family and maintaining the feeling of individuality through your language. That’s why Social Security provides a website — www.segurosocial.gov — with a variety of publications and services in Spanish that are important to you and your family.
If you need to apply for your first Social Security number or a get a replacement Social Security card, we invite you to read our publications Social Security Numbers for Children and Your Social Security Number and Card.
We offer a toll free number, 1-800-772-1213, which provides automated instructions for Spanish speakers. We also try to have employees available on the phone and in many of our offices who speak Spanish. However, if you need an interpreter, you can go to www.segurosocial.gov/espanol/interpreter.htm to find out more about our free interpreter services.
Just as grandparents help guide their grandchildren through life’s journey, we at Social Security are with you throughout yours. The services we provide guide you through your journey from birth, with your first social security card, to your dream of a secure retirement.
You don’t have to wait to find out what your retirement benefits may be. We provide the Retirement Estimator, one of our most popular online calculators, in Spanish. It offers instant, approximate estimates of your future retirement benefits. Try it for yourself at www.segurosocial.gov/calculador. Remember what your father wisely said to you: “It is up to this generation to secure our community’s today and tomorrow.”
Whether it’s through our website, visiting one of our offices, or calling our toll free number, we at Social Security maintain our commitment of providing first-class service to the nation’s growing Latino community.

STOP GIVING ILLEGALS FREE U.S.
TAX MONEY! EUROPEAN AMERICANS ARE STILL THE LARGEST POPULATION IN AMERICA! ILLEGALS DON’t DESERVE A FREE RIDE ON PRIMARILLY AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS!
Social Security has nothing to do with giving anything to those here illegally. Take your beefs somewhere else.
Thank you Ata… you are correct. Illegals do NOT receive any type of Social Security benefits!
The Cubans do get SSI with the Wet Foot Dry Foot policy. They come of the boat and touch US soil and the tax payers have to pay them.
Since the US restored relation with Cuba, they should get rid of this policy.
Yes, kick the alt right hate mongers out
European!?! If u r not of Indian Heritage don’t say anything! And if u r a European, u r one of the rejects that came on the Mayflower.
That is Very Awesome
Do we have an American Heritage Month; Or would that be too politically incorrect?
It is broken up into the holidays we celebrate. Ramadan is not recognized as an American holiday but Christmas is as is the 4th of July. I kinda like it all broken up as it keeps American culture and history in front of us all year. Happy Thanksgiving, Flag Day, Arbor day etc.
Social Security doesn’t do racial statistics that much because minorities have been getting more disability benefits than whites.
DISABILITY, HEALTH , and MORTALITY
Disability has an obvious impact on participation in Social Security. Using the ACS definition of disability, African Americans were more likely to be disabled than were individuals in the total population, 14.4 percent versus 12.6 percent. That is only 12.5% more.
If you look at Table 1, then you see that African American make up only 12.1% of the population. Table 7 shows SSI at ages 15-17, African American are 30% of the population. Disability is more than double the the percentage of African American in the US population. That is 147% increase compared to 12.5% increase
Ages 18-24 is 25.4%. That is a 109% increase compared to a 12.5% increase. Ages 25-61 is 22.5. That is a 85% increase compared to the 12.5% increase.

So African Americans are much more accident prone?
No. Tjey just have to work in occupations where injury and disability are much more likely than the Board Room.
It doesn’t matter what race or color you are because the discrimination is written in the Socialist Security rules already. Take for example, the special “Rule” they have written into the “adult disabled child” section of the disability benefits. An “adult disabled child” can only marry another disabled person and is discriminated against, if they choose to marry an “able bodied” person.
I am 45 years old, a mother of three older children and physically disabled ( I was born with cerebral palsy ). I’ve never collected one red cent of money from the Socialist Security System, even though I have applied several times and they find me disabled.
Technically, I am an “adult disabled child” (please look this up, it is NOT SSI or SSDI) but have never been able to secure any benefits whatsoever from the Socialist Security system, even under that program because I got married to an “Able bodied person”. The Socialist Security system is too busy paying benefits to some people who scam the system and worrying about adult disabled children (who they pay benefits to off of a parents record) marrying an able bodied person. This gives them the justification to cut off benefits to the adult disabled child because the husband (in theory) can now support the disabled person. This theory works great, if your husband is rich and you have no need for money but what it actually does, is to force two adults (one disabled one able bodied person) to live off of one income. In the real world, the socialist security system is forcing adult disabled children to only marry other disabled persons (and NO able bodied persons) at the threat of loosing any and all benefits that they are entitled to.
If you are a physically disabled person (an adult disabled child) and you happen to marry an “able bodied person” you will be loosing out on a lifetime of benefits, all because of a one word “rule” that prohibits you from marrying an “able bodied person”. Best of all, they never tell you about their “Rule” so that they can justify cutting off any benefits that you may be due.
Because you are physically disabled (adult disabled child) and you choose not to marry another adult disabled child or disabled person drawing off socialist security, you WILL LOOSE ANY AND ALL BENEFITS FOR LIFE. This means that the SOCIALIST SECURITY system is TELLING YOU WHO YOU ARE ALLOWED TO MARRY and who you are
NOT ALLOWED TO MARRY! It is a discriminatory act “rule” and should be ILLEGAL!
Even though I am permanently and totally disabled, if I marry an “able bodied person”, somehow that marriage makes everything ok and I am no longer considered disabled (in the eyes of the socialist security system). Magically (because I married an able bodied person), the pixie fairies come down and cure my disability, because now I can just go out and find gainful employment, no one will discriminate against my physical disability and everything will be grand, right? Somehow magically, marrying an able bodied person makes my physical disablility dissappear and now I am cured, right? WRONG!
The issue is a special “Rule” that the Socialist Security System uses to discriminate against “certain” people. If you are a “physically disabled person” (AKA-certain people) and happen to marry an able bodied person, then the SOCIALIST SECURITY system will use special “Rules” to legally discriminate against you and deny you benefits, even if you appeal online.
The SOCIALIST SECURITY system has caused me a lot of economic hardship all because I married an able bodied person. The SOCIALIST SECURITY system thinks someone who is physically disabled (permanently and totally disabled) marries an “able bodied person”, that somehow magically they are cured of their physical disability and two people can survive off the able bodied persons income. WOW, talk about a bunch of bureaucratic idiotic thinking, that somehow this would not cause a financial hardship….. amazing.
The rules that the Social Security Administration uses to legally discriminate against persons who are “Adult Disabled Children” who happen to marry an able bodied person, are discriminatory. This is loosely referred to as the “marriage penalty” but I call it exactly what it is, a legal form of discrimination.
I firmly believe this rule, is an act of bias, prejudice and discrimination against people who (by no fault of their own) are born disabled and happen to marry an able bodied person
Please write your Congressional Representative and tell them to end this modern day form of Legal Discrimination. In this day of fairness and equality, there are still some people suffering from an outdated and oppressive bureaucratic rule.
(PS. notice how the only thing any of these SOCIALIST SECURITY workers ever say are quotes of the rules or processes, like a worker drone. They are unable to address any topics that fall outside of their rule books). Typical bureaucracy and bureaucratic responses, like trying to argue over lost change with a vending machine!
