Social Security Information and Data
The Social Security Administration has a history of providing information and data about our program and processes
through our websites and traditional paper publications. Here, we aim to provide you with convenient, one-stop access
to high value datasets along with explanations about the data. As you browse the list below, click on the dataset title
to see more information about the dataset. Also, you can use the direct download links to the right of the title to go
straight to the data files. We also submitted many of these datasets to the federal government data catalog,
Data.gov. Clicking the logo link next to any dataset listing will bring you to the
opening page for that dataset at the Data.gov site. In addition, you can
view the catalog of SSA data along with data from many other agencies.
