Social Security Act of 1935 PROBLEM On August 14, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act. The Social Security Act is perhaps one of the most important legislative achievements in United States history. The Social Security Act was: Passed in the New Deal, the law provided for an old-age insurance system financed by taxes on workers and employers, a compensation program for the unemployed administered jointly by the national and state governments, and a variety of categorical grants to States to provide cash assistance to dependent children, the blind, the disabled and the elderly. (Turner et al. 517) It was proclaimed in the harsh struggle of the Great Depression; it was basically a broad bill that produced a series of programs to help countless groups of Americans. Social welfare: In terms of the amount of money spent by the national government, the growth of social welfare activities has been the most significant policy change in the role of government, taking money from taxpayers or borrowing it and providing cash or benefits in kind , such as food stamps, to millions of people who are entitled to them due to old age, disability, unemployment or poverty. (Turner et al. 469) These programs helped individuals in society receive financial support from the government. It was a strategy that turned into prosperity. Overall, social welfare programs aim to improve the well-being of destitute and exposed populations.AGENDAInitially, the Social Security Act of 1935 created a proposed national organization to distribute financial guarantees to the nation's workforce. This law was designed to provide society with a...... half of the paper ......n retirement age. However, Social Security's fiscal outlook remains strong. (“Next New Deal”, para. 3) Therefore, it is concluded that the new policy has not been successful with the rules and requirements of which it is composed. Therefore, the Social Security Act of 1935 will remain in the same condition it was in before it was amended. The reason it was not successful is because the obstacles did not intervene appropriately. For example, the requirements for benefiting from financial support in the event of childbirth were not developed correctly. The guidelines would not be checked when considering an incident to decide whether the candidate is eligible. On the other hand, the cameras installed in the foster homes have been destroyed by the homeowners and they would claim that they have escaped from where is unknown. Therefore, the new policy went straight to the bottom.
