Historical Context

The Social Security Act, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 14, 1935, established a federal safety net for retirees, providing benefits to 93% of American workers. This landmark legislation emerged during the Great Depression, addressing widespread poverty and unemployment.
