The Social Security Administration (SSA) is observing April as National Social Security Month, with Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano emphasizing the agency’s commitment to serving the 75 million individuals who rely on its monthly payments. This annual observance aims to inform Americans about the critical role Social Security plays in financial planning and to promote accessible service channels.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Under the direction of Commissioner Bisignano and with a focus on a digital-first approach, the SSA is striving to enhance the experience for beneficiaries and the public. The agency recognizes that accessibility is paramount, offering service through field offices, by phone, and online. This initiative is designed to empower Americans to better understand and manage their Social Security benefits, thereby securing their financial futures.
A significant development highlighted by the SSA is the widespread adoption of “my Social Security” accounts. Over 100 million Americans have now established these online accounts, which provide 24/7 access to the agency’s services and tools. Whether an individual is already receiving benefits or not, these personal accounts facilitate convenient online interactions with the SSA. Those interested in creating their own account can visit ssa.gov/myaccount.
Throughout April, the SSA plans to focus on various themes designed to educate the public about their Social Security benefits. The agency is also providing a toolkit of resources, including blog posts, social media content, and articles, for public use. The overarching goal of these efforts is to ensure a greater number of Americans are well-informed about their entitled benefits and are equipped to plan for a financially secure future. Further information about the SSA’s services can be found on the agency’s website at ssa.gov.
