The department of Social Security is a misnomer.
But in a sense there is a Department of Social Security. Some refer to it as the Social Security System.
It is formally called the Social Security Administration.
Often referred to in government as the SSA it is the official body that ultimately controls the greatest part of America's social funding programs.
The money to fund the Department of Soc. Sec. comes out of our taxes.
These are not the same taxes that go to pay for SSI or Supplemental Security Income.
The Social Security Administration has offices in most major cities.
You can locate an office online.
The Office of International Operations (OIO) is available to assist Social Security customers who are outside the U.S. or planning to leave the U.S.
