At Social Security, we strive to deliver great customer service and easy-to-access information about our programs. Our Spanish-language website, http://www.ssa.gov/espanol, provides information for those whose primary language is Spanish. 

There, your family and friends can learn about how to get a Social Security card, plan for retirement, apply for benefits, manage their benefits and much more. 

We also provide many publications in Spanish at www.ssa.gov/espanol/publicaciones/ on popular topics such as:

  • Retirement, Disability, and Survivors benefits. 
  • Medicare. 
  • Supplemental Security Income.

Spanish-speaking customers who need to speak with a representative can call us at 1-800-772-1213. Please share these resources with friends and family who may need them.
