[[Social Security]] is a social insurance program in the United States, aimed at providing economic security to retired workers, the disabled, and the survivors of deceased workers. [[Social Security]] was established in 1935 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, and has undergone numerous changes and reforms since its inception.

{{H2|History}}
The program was created to address the economic insecurity faced by many Americans during the Great Depression. The [[Social Security]] Act was signed into law on August 14, 1935, and began paying benefits to eligible recipients in January 1940. Initially, the program provided assistance to retired workers, the disabled, and the survivors of deceased workers. Over the years, the program has expanded to include additional benefits, such as disability insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

{{H2|Benefits}}
[[Social Security]] provides three main types of benefits: Retirement Benefits, Disability Benefits, and Survivor Benefits. Retirement Benefits are paid to eligible workers who have reached retirement age (currently 62). Disability Benefits are paid to individuals who are unable to work due to a medical condition. Survivor Benefits are paid to the surviving spouses, children, or dependent parents of deceased workers.


{{H2|Funding}}
{{Draft}}
{{US}}
The funding of [[Social Security]] comes from the payroll taxes paid by workers and their employers. The program is funded through the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes, which are 12.4% of an individual's earnings, up to a certain limit. Self-employed individuals pay both the employee and employer portions of the tax, which is 24.4% of their net earnings.

{{H2|Controversies}}
Despite its importance, [[Social Security]] has faced various controversies over the years. One of the most significant concerns is the program's long-term financial sustainability, as the baby boomer generation begins to retire and the workforce continues to age. Another issue is the potential impact of immigration and globalization on the program's funding and benefits.
