(SSA) Understanding Social Security

Sociial Secuity Online, January 1998


For over 60 years, the Social Security program has been the most successful domestic government program, providing economic protection for Americans of all ages. Demographic changes confronting our Nation require the need for reforms in the Social Security program.

In the President's State of the Union message, he said that we must educate Americans about Social Security and the issues that face it. Americans must understand the Social Security program of today, so they can make informed choices about the Social Security program of tomorrow.

Social Security Online has numerous online resources that will help you understand the current program and to frame the discussions of the future of Social Security.
