Image of glossary, with text 'Glosario'.This version of WorkWORLD contains internal copies of the August 2007 English-Spanish and Spanish-English editions of the Social Security Administration's Glossary of SSA Terminology. Both editions offer translations rather than explanations of commonly used terms. For explanations of many of the terms, see the Glossary - SSA Terminology topic.

Introduction

This English-Spanish Glossary of Social Security Terminology contains everyday words and expressions as well as technical Social Security terminology. It is intended to promote uniformity in language usage and avoid misinterpretation of Spanish language materials issued by the Social Security Administration.

The Glossary was initially composed by a group of Social Security employees in SSA's Central Office and has been updated though the years with the cooperation and review of many Social Security Field office employees from all regions. Also, each regional office was given opportunities to review the Glossary and submit ideas and suggestions. The group members were chosen to represent various Hispanic origins and backgrounds.

Certain words may not be used in various parts of the country. In some instances, words were "invented" and a compromise was made when there were no precise equivalents in the Spanish language.

The Glossary will continue to be updated as new terms appear in the various SSA administered programs.

Introducción

Este glosario Español-Inglés de Terminología del Seguro Social contiene palabras y expresiones comunes así como terminología técnica del Seguro Social. Su propósito es el de promover uniformidad en el uso del lenguage y evitar falsas interpretaciones en el uso de los materiales publicados por el Seguro Social en el idioma español.

El glosario fué compuesto inicialmente por un grupo de empleados del Seguro Social en la oficina central de Baltimore y se ha puesto al día, a través de los años con la cooperación y revisión de muchos empleados hispano hablantes de todas las regiones del Seguro Social. Los miembros del grupo han representado los diferentes orígenes y geografías hispanas.

Ciertas palabras puede que no se usen en algunas partes del país. En algunos casos se han "inventado" palabras de compromiso donde no había equivalentes precisos en el idioma español.

Este glosario continúa poniéndose al día según van apareciendo nuevos términos en los diferentes programas administrados por el Seguro Social.
