The Social Security Administration (SSA) is NOT an example of an independent federal agency. The SSA is an independent agency of the federal government but operates under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for administrative purposes. In contrast, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are considered independent federal agencies with more autonomy.
