The Social Security Administration (SSA) is where people go to ask about retirement benefits, Social Security cards, and more. But this isn’t all the organization is responsible for.

They also play an important role when people want to make changes. But it isn’t just about changing a Social Security number or getting a new card. Sometimes it’s about getting a new name.
