About SocialSecurityNews.com

SocialSecurityNews.com is an independent publication covering Social Security for two audiences: the individuals who rely on the program, and the professionals who advise them or shape policy. Our goal is simple — clear answers on Social Security.

What we do

We curate Social Security news from official sources such as the Social Security Administration, its Office of the Inspector General, and Congress, alongside trusted independent reporting and research. We summarize each item in plain language and link out to the original. We also build free, formula-based tools to help readers understand benefits.

Editorial independence

SocialSecurityNews.com is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Social Security Administration or any government agency. We do not sell financial products and we do not provide individualized financial, legal, or tax advice. Where we summarize official information, we cite and link the source so you can verify it yourself.

Our standards

We write plainly and avoid hype. We cite sources. We correct mistakes. If you find an error, we want to hear about it. Read our full editorial standards — how we source, review, and update our content.
