The benefit that the social security act provided to people who were not of retirement age was unemployment insurance.

The social security act created a basic right to a pension in old age, and insurance against unemployment.

It was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935,. The Social Security constituted a federal safety net for elderly, unemployed and disadvantaged Americans.
