The Future of Social Security.

A particularly dangerous and now common type of spam known as "Phishing” attempts to trick recipients into revealing personal and sensitive data, such as passwords, login ID’s, financial information or social security numbers. Recipients are directed to counterfeit and fraudulent websites that are exact duplicates of well-known and respected companies such as eBay, PayPal or large banking institutions and prompted to enter account information. This white paper addresses current issues associated with phishing scams and argues the most probable and likely direction phishing scams will follow in the future. Recommended safe user guidelines are included to help protect users from both current and future phishing attacks.

Soziale Sicherung

ZusammenfassungDie soziale Sicherung der Frau umfaßt geschlechterspezifisch bedeutsame Regelungen in Alterssicherung, Kranken- und Pflegeversicherung sowie Sozialhilfe. Es werden Entwicklungen der Hauptanknüpfungstatbestände der sozialen Sicherung - „eigene Erwerbstätigkeit“ und „Familie“ - sowie die bestehenden Regelungen der Alters- und Krankenversicherung und deren weitere Entwicklungsoptionen dargestellt: Von Kohorte zu Kohorte kann man in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland eine zunehmende Bedeutung der eigenen Erwerbstätigkeit für die soziale Sicherung beobachten. Die Familie bleibt dessen ungeachtet heute und künftig für die soziale Sicherung unverzichtbar. Für die ab etwa 1940 geborenen Frauen überwiegt die eigene Erwerbstätigkeit als Sicherungsgrundlage. Künftig muß eine adäquate Weiterentwicklung der Verzahnung eigener und abgeleiteter Sicherung erfolgen.

Social Security Benefits

This chapter discusses intangibles not transferable by reason of public policy. In the case of certain sums receivable in the future, reasons of public policy preclude their assignment. The cases in this area tend to have a Dickensian feel to them—such as the rule that no effectual assignment can be made of the salaries or pensions of public officers payable to them for the purpose of keeping the dignity of their office or to ensure the due discharge of their duties—but the same sort of policy underlies the current statutory prohibitions on the assignment of social security benefits and pay in respect of a person's service in Her Majesty's military forces.

The Uk

AbstractIn 2009, the UK government emphasised that it was ‘deeply committed’ to the maintenance of the state's social union, embodied in a single social security system. Five years later, the future of this social union appeared less certain than at any time since the 1920s. Dissatisfaction with the ‘welfare reform’ agenda of the coalition government was a driver of support for Scottish independence in the 2014 referendum campaign. Meanwhile, the Northern Ireland Assembly failed to pass legislation to mirror the Welfare Reform Act 2012, normally a formality due to the convention of parity in social security. Despite Westminster's subsequent extension of the 2012 reforms to the region, divergence in secondary legislation and practice remains likely. This article draws on the findings of qualitative interviews with politicians and civil servants in both regions during a period covering the conclusion of the Smith Commission's work on the future of Scottish devolution and the height of a political impasse over Northern Ireland's Welfare Reform Bill that threatened a constitutional crisis. It considers the extent to which steps towards divergence in the two devolved regions have altered the UK's social union and to which the two processes have influenced one another.

The Future

It may be that historians of the future will regard the present age as distinguished above all things by the system of social security introduced by the series of statutes which included the National Health Service Act, 1946, the National Insurance Act, 1948, and the National Assistance Act, 1948.
