Social Security & You
By Brandon P. Smith, Social Security Public Affairs Specialist
For nearly 90 years, Social Security’s programs and services have been a lifeline to people throughout the United States, including the Hispanic community. Our retirement, disability, and survivors benefits are just as important for Hispanics. Our Spanish-language website, Seguro Social at ssa.gov/espanol, provides information for those whose primary language is Spanish. People can learn – in their preferred language – how to get a new or replacement Social Security card, plan for retirement, apply for benefits, manage their benefits, and much more.
We also provide many publications in Spanish at ssa.gov/espanol/publicaciones. Popular topics include:
- Retirement, Disability and Survivors benefits
- Medicare
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Social Security cards
- Fraud and scams
- Appeals
- Benefits for children
- Payments outside the U.S.
Customers who prefer to conduct business in Spanish can reach a Spanish-speaking representative by calling our toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213. For more information on how we support the Hispanic community, visit our Social Security and Hispanics webpage at ssa.gov/people/hispanics. Please share these resources with friends and family who may need them.
