SSA
Federal benefits bureau
SSA is an initialism with several meanings depending on context.
Most commonly, it refers to the Social Security Administration, the U.S. federal agency that manages retirement, disability, and survivor benefits: I need to visit the SSA office to replace my card.
In compiler design, SSA stands for static single assignment, a form of intermediate code representation.
In other contexts, it may mean sub-Saharan Africa or same-sex attraction.
