Social Security Celebrates 90 Years of Service

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating its 90th anniversary, honoring nearly a century of providing financial security and dignity to millions of Americans. Since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law on August 14, 1935, the program has grown into one of the nation’s most trusted institutions.

“For 90 years, Social Security has stood as a promise kept, ensuring that older Americans, people with disabilities, and families facing loss have the support they need,” said Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano. He emphasized that the SSA is building a faster, smarter, and more accessible future through technological improvements and enhanced process engineering.

In [his open letter to the American people](Commissioner Bisignano’s Open Letter to the American People), Commissioner Bisignano highlighted his commitment to strengthening the agency and outlined the customer service improvements made in his first 100 days in office.

As part of the celebration, Commissioner Bisignano joined President Donald J. Trump at the White House for the signing of a presidential proclamation, reaffirming the commitment to defend Social Security and honoring the contributions of America’s seniors.
