Since the Social Security Act was signed into law in 1935, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for millions of Americans. What began as a bold vision to protect Americans from poverty in old age has grown into one of the most successful and enduring programs in our country\u2019s history. Social Security provides financial security to more than 72 million people, including retired workers, survivors, and those with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking Back: The History of Social Security<\/strong><br \/>As we celebrate this milestone, it\u2019s important to reflect on the journey that brought us here. From its origins in the 1930s to its evolution through decades of change, Social Security has adapted to meet the needs of the American people. We invite you to watch our video for a look back at the history of SSA, highlighting key moments, challenges, and achievements that have shaped the program over the past ninety years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>A New Era of Service and Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Commissioner Frank Bisignano has made it clear that delivering faster, smarter, and more accessible service is at the heart of SSA\u2019s mission. In his first 100 days, he has transformed the agency by reducing wait times, modernizing phone systems, and expanding online access to services. These improvements are possible thanks to a focus on innovation, the integration of new technologies, and the dedication of SSA\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n<p>By investing in technology and streamlining processes, SSA is making it easier for people to get the help they need, when and how they need it. Whether it\u2019s resolving questions through self-service options, scheduling appointments more efficiently, or ensuring secure and reliable online transactions, the agency is committed to meeting the evolving needs of the public.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Message from Commissioner Bisignano<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To commemorate this special anniversary, we are pleased to share a video message from Commissioner Bisignano. In his remarks, Commissioner Bisignano reflects on the agency\u2019s proud legacy, recent achievements, and ongoing commitment to serving the American people with excellence and innovation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner Bisignano\u2019s vision is clear: to transform SSA into a model of excellence that delivers outstanding service to every American, now and in the future.
