Social Security Joins The Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: August 19, 2021
Social Security joins you and your family in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15.
We know the contributions of Hispanics can be traced to before the origins of the United States with the discovery, exploration, and naming of many places in our nation, such as state names like California, Colorado, and Texas and city names like San Antonio, Santa Barbara, and Boca Raton. Hispanics have influenced every facet of life, from language to our cultural development. Hispanics play a crucial role in American life.
The most important things to you are your family and maintaining the feeling of individuality through your language. That’s why Social Security provides a website — www.segurosocial.gov — with a variety of publications and services in Spanish that are important to you and your family.
If you need to apply for your first Social Security number or a get a replacement Social Security card, we invite you to read our publications Social Security Numbers for Children and Your Social Security Number and Card.
We offer a toll free number, 1-800-772-1213, which provides automated instructions for Spanish speakers. We also try to have employees available on the phone and in many of our offices who speak Spanish. However, if you need an interpreter, you can go to www.segurosocial.gov/espanol/interpreter.htm to find out more about our free interpreter services.
Just as grandparents help guide their grandchildren through life’s journey, we at Social Security are with you throughout yours. The services we provide guide you through your journey from birth, with your first social security card, to your dream of a secure retirement.
You don’t have to wait to find out what your retirement benefits may be. We provide the Retirement Estimator, one of our most popular online calculators, in Spanish. It offers instant, approximate estimates of your future retirement benefits. Try it for yourself at www.segurosocial.gov/calculador. Remember what your father wisely said to you: “It is up to this generation to secure our community’s today and tomorrow.”
Whether it’s through our website, visiting one of our offices, or calling our toll free number, we at Social Security maintain our commitment of providing first-class service to the nation’s growing Latino community.

Social Security doesn’t do racial statistics that much because minorities have been getting more disability benefits than whites.
DISABILITY, HEALTH , and MORTALITY
Disability has an obvious impact on participation in Social Security. Using the ACS definition of disability, African Americans were more likely to be disabled than were individuals in the total population, 14.4 percent versus 12.6 percent. That is only 12.5% more.
If you look at Table 1, then you see that African American make up only 12.1% of the population. Table 7 shows SSI at ages 15-17, African American are 30% of the population. Disability is more than double the the percentage of African American in the US population. That is 147% increase compared to 12.5% increase
Ages 18-24 is 25.4%. That is a 109% increase compared to a 12.5% increase. Ages 25-61 is 22.5. That is a 85% increase compared to the 12.5% increase.

There is no one from the SSA checking the SSA blog on the weekends, so spammers and scammers can get Social Security recipients to click on their internet links.

Nice post. I find out some thing extra challenging on various blogs everyday. It’ll normally be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice slightly something from their shop. I’d prefer to utilize some using the content material on my weblog no matter whether you do not mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a link in your internet weblog.

Do we have an American Heritage Month; Or would that be too politically incorrect?
tony
The majority of people on Social Security are White. Make America Great Again and vote.

It is broken up into the holidays we celebrate. Ramadan is not recognized as an American holiday but Christmas is as is the 4th of July. I kinda like it all broken up as it keeps American culture and history in front of us all year. Happy Thanksgiving, Flag Day, Arbor day etc.

That is Very Awesome

STOP GIVING ILLEGALS FREE U.S.
TAX MONEY! EUROPEAN AMERICANS ARE STILL THE LARGEST POPULATION IN AMERICA! ILLEGALS DON’t DESERVE A FREE RIDE ON PRIMARILLY AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS!
ata
Social Security has nothing to do with giving anything to those here illegally. Take your beefs somewhere else.
Chris
Thank you Ata… you are correct. Illegals do NOT receive any type of Social Security benefits!
tony
The Cubans do get SSI with the Wet Foot Dry Foot policy. They come of the boat and touch US soil and the tax payers have to pay them.
Since the US restored relation with Cuba, they should get rid of this policy.
