I think most everyone knows this, but the Social Security Administration (SSA) is in charge of your Social Security benefits. So you want to visit the Social Security Administration website to do things like:
- Apply for your benefits
- Learn more about Social Security
- Run some basic benefit calculations
- Learn about Survivor benefits
- Learn about disability benefits
You can also learn about the history of Social Security and how it came about in the 1930s under President Roosevelt’s “New Deal”.

Oops I forgot to mention that you can download the RetirementView software if you want to generate a basic Social Security estimate, or even a full blown retirement plan.
You can get the Windows or Mac version from the download page located at http://www.torrid-tech.com
