Security Check

In 1940, the first monthly Social Security payment in the form of a paper check was issued. Social Security was established by the United States government as a universal retirement system for workers. The Social Security check became a symbol of the social safety net for older Americans, and the relation of that safety to a lifetime of compulsory productivity. Over the years, there has been much innovation in the physical properties of Social Security checks, as well the systems that produce, distribute, and cash them. The Social Security, check, however, will soon become a thing of the past. With or without their cooperation, recipients are being transitioned to electronic direct deposit systems.

Social Security Disability

It is estimated that 15-30 percent of people who are on the Social Security Administration's (SSA) disability benefit programs would like to work. However, despite a number of incentives, few leave benefit programs and become employed. A qualitative study with SSA recipients, all of whom expressed a desire to work, was conducted to augment findings from previous quantitative studies. The most common barrier to employment mentioned by participants was the SSA system itself which was viewed as an institution breeding fear and mistrust. Respondents identified three scenarios that would allow them to work: a full-time job with medical benefits, a part-time job that would allow them to maintain SSA benefits, or a full-time job with sufficient income to afford medical benefits.

Limited Coverage

The paper shows that the Vietnam’s system of social security policies during its reforms increasingly supports risk prevention, mitigation and management, positively contributing to the implementation of targets for human development. This system, however, reveals many shortcomings, such as its limited coverage and low impact on beneficiaries. Since the system, in which all citizens are guaranteed to be engaged, should assure people’s fundamental needs and increase its scope of impact, greater accountability of involved parties is required. Additionally, on the basis of synchronous development of all components of the social safety net, it is vital that the policy model, organizations in operation and/or services and finance resources providers be diversified and that the development of social security policies be attached to economic and social development.

The Impact

Throughout Western highly industrialised countries, there has been a marked shift toward more conservative social policies signalling a dismantling of the welfare state as part of the process of globalisation. This paper examines the aetiology of the (un)employment insurance programme in the Canadian context. Recently, legislators have tightened eligibility rules, lowered earnings replacement rates and altered coverage requirements. While these changes signal a shredding of the social safety net, they differentially impact on certain segments of the population. Despite official pronouncements of fairness, employment insurance changes intensify the subordination women experience in the paid labour force.
