Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): df49f (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

RHELLER Nov 5, 2005:
These "cultural" terms, representing national benefits/insurance, differ from country to country. Social security in the U.S. does not mean the same thing as "s�curit� sociale" in France;you can explain in translator's note or in parentheses
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Nov 5, 2005:
Please could you situate your term in a more complete extract and also provide an indication of your target reader - US? GB?
BrigitteHilgner Nov 5, 2005:
My first guess: "social security"; if you cared to offer some context (at least one complete sentence), we might be able to be specific.

Just an idea

The English equivalent would be the health and social security system. In this context it could well be a reference to the benefits given through this system

Social Security

This is a direct translation into UK English that I think should work just fine in most contexts.

Currently, the UK government department responsible for this is the Department of Work and Pensions (formed from the Department of Social Security and the former Department of Education and Employment in Jone 2001) (source: offical government site).

For info, the DHSS was split up into the DoH and DSS in 1988.

No medical insurance is included in the U.S; the U.S. does not have a national health plan.

Four basic categories of Social Security benefits are paid based upon the record of your earnings: retirement, disability, dependents, and survivors benefits.

social security - from GDT et voici la déf de GDT :

même si le texte original est en Français, ça ne veut pas dire que c'est pour la France - et la définition de sécurité sociale change tellement d'un pays à l'autre (selon les commentaires de tous ceux qui ont répondu)
