Social Security Act (SSA) I Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as your president of the United States, believe that i have a great idea. It's not just any regular idea, it's an idea that i believe will help all of the citizens of the United States. On this day of August 14, 1935, I am going to pass the Social Security Act. Many of you may be wondering, what exactly is that? Well my Americans, i am going to explain myself. The Social Security Act, which can also be known as the SSA, is going to be for older, disabled, needy Americans that can no longer work. The SSA will make sure that those people are provided with the wealth that they will need for when they retire and for years upon that. The SSA will also provide benefits for victims of industrial accidents, unemployment insurance, independent mothers and children, the blind, and those who are physically handicapped. The purpose of the Social Security Act will be to make sure that all Americans do not have to worry about going into a depression when they retire, get hurt, or become physically or mentally disabled, and everyone will be taking care of as needed. Prior to this act, the goverment did not furnish such programs, and when they did, they we're only for war veterans. My goal now is to have everyone fully taken care of.
