Today, August 15, I, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, have surmised to sign the Social Security Act of 1935. This movement will affect Americans lives with every day, and I believe that it will be considered revolutionary. The SSA has been constructed to protect America’s citizens against all economic hardships. It implicates eleven titles, each with a beneficial purpose. The first title will deliver pensions to the elderly who have retired before I passed this act. They will receive a portion of money issued by the government each month for their hard years of working. Title two will provide monetary assistance for those who will be retiring in the near future. The third title, in my opinion, is the most important for our time, and that is the unemployment insurance plan. This plan will provide a small amount of money to those who are currently out of work. The Aid to Dependent Children Program is part of the fourth title. This will provide support for children whose parents can not care for them. The fifth title gives grants to the states to promote health for mothers and children, the crippled and the neglected. Titles six, eight, nine, and eleven will all deal with funding and administration operations. The seventh title is going to set up a three member Social Security board to carry out the plan. Last but not least, the tenth title offers aid to the needy blind. I have approved the Social Security Act because I feel that it is strongly needed during this time of depression.
