The National Social Security Homepage contains legislative updates, frequently asked questions, and forms that you can download to request a replacement Social Security card or benefit estimate. The mission of this agency is to administer the national Social Security programs as prescribed by legislation in an equitable, effective, efficient, and caring manner. The Social Security programs that were established to protect Americans against the loss of income include retirement, survivor, and disability benefits, as well as health insurance coverage through the Medicare program. Social Security is part of almost everyone's life. In one way or another, whether assigning a Social Security number to a newborn infant or mailing a Social Security check to a retired worker, Social Security touches the lives of more Americans than any other federal program.
