Social security administration

Headquartered in Woodlawn, Maryland, the Social Security Administration of the United States of America was created by the federal government to administer a social insurance program that gives retirement, survivors’, and disability benefits to American workers. This program is paid for by Social Security taxes collected from American workers’ paychecks during their working lives.

The Social Security Administration includes 10 regional offices, 8 processing centers, 1300 field offices, and 37 Teleservice centers. It employs a whopping 62,000 people to run its operations and is the biggest social welfare program in the country.

Read Social Security and Census Instructions – By Leslie Nelson

When looking over the SS-5 forms you ordered from the Social Security Administration, check out the instructions your ancestors were given when they filled out the form.

Also, one of the best pieces of advice I ever got was to use enumerator instructions to help me interpret census entries. I now routinely look for instructions and background for any record or document I have acquired, and it has saved me from some big mistakes. The site for the enumerator instructions has appeared in the Ancestry Daily News before, but it’s probably worth repeating. This is the website.
