Answer: Disabled people, their children, spouses and survivors.

Besides the elderly and retired, disabled people, their children, spouses and survivors can benefit from Social Security.

Explanation:

Social Security benefits refer to monetary assistance or payment made by the government to qualified retirees, elderly, disabled people, and to their spouses, children, and survivors. Workers pay Social Security taxes and money flows back as monthly income to beneficiaries of Social security. It is a pay as you go system because people pay into the Social Security program during their working years and accrue 40 credits so as to qualify for benefits.
