On August 14, 2026, the Social Security Administration recognized 91 years of service to the American people.
The milestone traces back to August 14, 1935, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. Since then, Social Security has become an important source of retirement, disability, and survivor benefits for millions of Americans.
Social Security benefits can provide a dependable foundation. They are not designed to carry an entire retirement plan.
Your retirement income may also include:
A complete plan coordinates these resources. It also considers your expected expenses, health needs, tax situation, desired retirement age, and legacy goals.
The age at which you begin receiving Social Security retirement benefits can affect your monthly benefit amount. Your work history and earnings record also play important roles.
Before making a claiming decision, review:
The SSA encourages individuals to review their information through an official my Social Security account and use its retirement planning resources.
