No. Although President Roosevelt's mother, Sara Ann Delano Roosevelt (1854-1941), would almost certainly have refused Social Security benefits, she was never eligible to receive them because neither she nor her husband paid into the trust.
Roosevelt's father, James, was significantly older than his mother and died in 1900, long before the Great Depression, FDR's election to the Presidency, or the initiation of the Social Security Act of 1935.
Additionally, both Sara Delano and James Roosevelt were born into wealthy families, lived a life of privilege, and would have been unlikely to accept money from a social welfare program under any circumstances.
