Social security act
Article Abstract:
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the Social Security Act that created a social insurance program to pay retired workers age 65 or older a steady income for the rest oh their lives. Unlike the state-old pension plans, the program was funded through a contributory system, in which future beneficiaries contribute to their own retirement through payroll deductions made during their working lives.
