OUR MISSION
Our mission is to fulfill the intent and purpose of the Social Security Act, that is, to ensure that “persons covered may be ensured a measure of security in their old age or during disability, and may be given in old age an opportunity for leisure without hardship and loss of income, and, further, to provide survivor's insurance for their spouses and children”. We, the staff of the Republic of Palau Social Security Administration, discharge that duty with courtesy, professionalism and fairness to all.
OUR MOTTO 
Our motto "Continuous Improvement" encapsulates everything that we, the staff of the Republic of Palau Social Security Administration, do and how we look at our service to our customers, the public. We will never say no to a customer's request without reviewing it first.
HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE
The Social Security System of the Republic of Palau traces its roots to the enactment by the Congress of Micronesia of the Social Security Act of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands which came into effect on July 1, 1968.
With the dissolution of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and the separation of Palau from the rest of the former Trust Territory entities, the Social Security Act of the Republic of Palau was enacted by the Third Olbiil Era Kelulau (RPPL 3-64).
The Social Security Administration of the Republic of Palau is a self-supporting and self-funding public corporation, wholly owned by the Republic of Palau. It has five (5) Board Members who are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, with the Social Security Administrator serving also as an ex officio Board Member.
The Social Security Board of Trustees is tasked with the management of the Social Security Trust Funds. The Board has full power to manage the investments of the Trust Funds “as in its considered judgment seems most appropriate to the requirements and objectives of the system”.
The five Board Members selects and appoints a Social Security Administrator who, in turn, is charged with the general administration of the Social Security system.
