Answer: (d)
- Social Security Act, passed on 14 Aug 1935, was signed by President Roosevelt as a State intervention to provide the citizens with social security and insurance against unemployment.
- By the 1930s the USA did not have a Social Security program in place and in order to rectify the situation this act was passed.
- However, before the 1935 Act was passed, it was difficult for people to sustain especially in the light of economic hardships during the war.
- Before the Social security act, people had only state-funded pensions to rely on. However, even these state pensions were non-existent before 1930 and 30 states put a pension policy in place only by 1935. Even then only 3 per cent of the elderly Americans could actually receive state benefits.
- Therefore, the answer is (d)
