Social Security is a federal government program that ensures all adults of retirement age receive a pension proportional to the amount of time they have spent working during their lives. Workers pay into a Social Security account with each pay check they receive and are able to collect when they reach a designated age; as of 2015, between 62 and 67 years old. Social Security also encompasses programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, disability income and survivors benefits.
