The Social Security Administration (SSA) is responsible for providing benefits and services that affect the lives of nearly every American. In calendar year 2012, SSA paid over 62 million people more than $826 billion in Social Security retirement and disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income payments. As more members of the baby boom generation become eligible for retirement benefits and individuals under age 62 reach their disability-prone years, a surge in benefit applications is expected.
