Social Security

Introduction

A formal social security system was slow to come to the United States. The first public social security system (although limited in coverage and generosity) emerged in Bismarckian Germany in 1889 and was followed by systems in Denmark in 1891, New Zealand in 1898, Austria in 1906, and Australia and Great Britain in 1908 (Social Security Administration 1985). Legislation at the national level was not passed in the United States until 1935, and the first old-age pension was not paid until 1940. In part, the expansion of disability benefits to Civil War veterans (even if they had not been injured or seen combat) in 1890 provided a de facto pension system for northern whites but did not promote the implementation of a more general national pension system for nonveterans (Orloff and Skocpol 1984).

Objective

The objective of social security is to provide protection to persons who are unable (temporary or permanent) to earn an income, or to be exceptional financial responsibilities, can continue to meet their main needs, providing for this purpose: The term can be used to refer to:

Social Security, an entity that administers funds and grants different benefits that Social Security provides a function to recognize contributions made to an insurance scheme. These services or benefits typically include pension provision for retirement , disability insurance, pensions, widows' and orphans, medical care and unemployment insurance.

Maintenance revenues, mainly the distribution of cash in case of loss of employment, including retirement, disability and unemployment.

Services provided by administrations responsible for social security. Depending on the country this may include medical care, aspects of social work and even industrial relations.

The term is also used to refer to basic security, a term roughly equivalent to access to basic needs such as food, education and medical care.

A prediction concerning the future of the social agency and its impact on the criminal justice system.

Thesis Statement

Recent federal budget surpluses have generated a desire to "save" Social Security.
