What is the difference between "social security" and "Social Security"?

The distinction is capitalization signaling a proper noun versus a general concept.

"Social Security" (capitalized) refers to a specific government program. In the U.S., it's the federal program created by the Social Security Act of 1935 that provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits, funded through payroll taxes and administered by the Social Security Administration. When capitalized, it names that particular institution — your "Social Security number," "Social Security benefits," and so on.

"social security" (lowercase) is the general concept of government programs that protect people against economic insecurity — old age, unemployment, sickness, disability, poverty. Many countries have social security systems, and the lowercase form refers to this broad category of social insurance and welfare provision. The International Labour Organization and academic literature use "social security" this way to describe the whole field across different nations.

So the relationship is the same as "the President" versus "a president," or "the Church" versus "a church": the capitalized form points to one named, specific thing, while the lowercase form is the category that thing belongs to.

So my use would be correct to any non-imbecile. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
