90 years ago, Social Security was signed into law. Since then, it’s been there for our grandparents, our parents, and now us, helping us retire, supporting families through loss and protecting those facing hardship. What began in 1935 as a promise to help senior citizens after a lifetime of hard work has grown into one of the most important lifelines in our country’s history.

For nine decades, Social Security has provided steady income to millions in retirement, offered survivor benefits to families in need, supported people with disabilities, and reduced poverty for older Americans. Social Security continues to shape lives across generations.

Here’s to 90 years of care, commitment, and making life more secure for all. Sign the pledge to protect Social Security for 90+ more years by visiting https://www.afscme.org/ssa

Today we remember and honor those who gave everything in service to our country. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
