Chapter 23 Social Security Administration (SSA)



The United States Social Security Administration (SSA) is an independent agency of the United States federal government that administers Social Security, a social insurance program consisting of retirement, disability, and survivors' benefits. To qualify for most of these benefits, most workers pay Social Security taxes on their earnings; the claimant's benefits are based on the wage earner's contributions. This administration provides many different programs. They provide for old age, survivors and disabled which is know as the Retired, Survivors, Disability Insurance (RSDI). The SSA also provides Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicare insurance. The SSI is needs-based, for the aged, blind, or disabled. This administration takes tax payer money to provide for these services.
