Spanish term or phrase: Otras contribuciones a la seguridad social
SPAIN. (Original source may be Italy).
Apologies in advance if this seems like a dopey question. I can't make my mind up whether this means "other Social Security contributions" or "Contributions OTHER THAN Social Security"… It's been a long morning.

Other contributions to social security programs


Explanation:
The programs referred to are not identical to the programs referred to in English as "Social Security" (particularly in USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand). Therefore to be strict, it is wrong to use the term "Social Security". It is preferable to translate seguridad social as "social security programs". This is not a trivial point at all. If my client were a law firm, not only would I use the translation "social security programs" but I would specifically point out the caveat in a separate note to the client.

(programs has the alternate spelling "programmes", depending on the dialect of English)

neutral  philgoddard: I don't understand the point you're making, or the need for "programs", but it is true that social security has a different meaning in the US to the rest of the world.
