Who gets Social Security in the US?

 


Few if any programs of the U.S. government touch as many people as directly as Social Security. Nearly every working American pays Social Security taxes, and more than 55 million people receive retirement benefits through the program. Millions more also collect disability benefits or cash assistance through it.

Social Security has long been one of the federal government’s most popular programs. In a 2024 Pew Research Center survey, 79% of U.S. adults said Social Security benefits shouldn’t be reduced in any way – a view broadly shared across ages, racial and ethnic groups, partisan affiliations and income brackets.

  1. The Social Security system is based on the best social policy the US has ever created and implemented. It contributes very signficantly to the quality of life of our citizens. Government is for all the people and this government program serves us very well and deserves our support. Work against its privatization and to find ways to efficiently and effectively fund it.
