The Social
Security Act helped deal with the problems of the poor mothers, families with
dependent children, the disabled, and the needy elderly. During the early 1900s
support for these people was only a matter or a concern of local, state, and
family departments of the United States.
The establishment of the act gave way for the government to provide the general
welfare of its beneficiaries. The Social Security Act was established on August
24, 1935 where concerns of the latter already began to be considered as an
official Federal Concern.
