Social Security in Plain English: Glossary and Q & As

Do you get SSI and wonder if SEI will affect your amount? Or maybe you paid enough FICA for the QCs you need to qualify for SSDI or RIB -- wonder what your PIA will be after the COLA? If you answered "what are you talking about" to these questions and you want to know, visit the Social Security Administration's online glossary. "The Glossary of Social Security Terms" gives meaning to even the most intimidating terms and acronyms. From "AIME" to "Worker," the glossary will put you in the know and make sure you will never be at a loss when reading a Social Security document.
