Answer 1

OD. The Social Security Act of 1935 provided financial security to individuals.

The primary goal of the Social Security Act of 1935 was to provide financial security to individuals, particularly in their old age. The act established a system of social insurance that provided retirement benefits, survivor benefits, and disability benefits to eligible workers and their families. The act also provided for unemployment insurance and aid to families with dependent children. While the act did provide jobs to some workers, its primary focus was on providing financial security to individuals through social insurance programs.
