Social Security

Social Security is based on the concept that while you work, you pay taxes into the Social Security system, and when you retire or become disabled; you, your spouse and your dependent children receive monthly benefits that are based on your reported earnings. Also, your survivors can collect benefits in the event of your death. However, only some people are eligible for social security, based on various factors including certain work requirements.

The money you put into the Social Security system is not put into a personalized account with your name on it. Instead, the money you contribute is put into a massive trust for everyone and from this massive trust Social Security pays out all of its benefits.
