Social Security Administration

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government, with a mission to “Deliver Social Security services that meet the changing needs of the public.” With a staff of almost 60,000 employees spread across more than 1,400 offices and embassy locations around the world and an online presence through socialsecurity.gov, the SSA is for many people the face of the federal government.

SSA’s headquarters is located in Woodlawn, Maryland and is responsible for 10 regional offices, 8 processing centers, approximately 1300 field offices, and 37 Teleservice Centers.

Oversight and management of SSA is accomplished through a hierarchical structure as shown in the charts that follow.
