The correct answer is B) He wanted to deal with the problems of those unable to work at all: retirees, the disabled, dependent mothers, and children.


The Social Security Act was one of several different federal agencies created by Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of his New Deal policies. The New Deal program was supposed to help America recover from the Great Depression by developing employment programs and providing direct financial assistance to American citizens. In this sense, the individuals who needed the financial assistance the most were people who were unable to work. This explains why the Social Security Act was structured with these people in mind.
