Social Security Administration careers

Some 68 million people get a payment from the Social Security Administration, retirees, children, and surviving spouses among them. The agency has been at it for nearly 90 years, and it calls the program one of the most successful anti-poverty efforts in the nation's history. Beyond the monthly benefit, SSA manages Supplemental Security Income, enrolls people in Medicare, and issues Social Security numbers and cards. Its own summary of the work comes down to support, service, and security, and the jobs it calls direct public service are the front line of it, in person, over the phone, or through the systems behind a my Social Security account.
