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.

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.

During the first six decades of the 20th century, the social security safety net designed to protect Canadians from destitution has seen many holes. Despite the well documented extent of misery, conservative attitudes of prejudice against the poor through these years prevented the development of an effective community response to poverty and substandard housing conditions. This paper examines the evolution of the Canadian welfare state over three periods. It finds that while a social security system of old age pensions, family allowances and unemployment insurance had emerged by the end of the Second World War, its creation was due more to opportunistic political calculations, than a benevolent effort to reduce homelessness.
