Regulations are critical components of federal law that provide greater detail and clarity regarding how Federal agencies implement and enforce the laws passed by Congress. SSA’s regulations generally provide the public with greater insight into the operation of our programs, and provide details on how the public may interact with those programs.

• For convenience, we maintain a page that displays recently published regulations.

• For those interested in a broader historical perspective, all SSA regulations dating back to March 31, 1995, when we became an independent agency, are available at the Federal Register website.

• SSA regulations are also available at www.regulations.gov.
