No. A government program is what is called an "entitlement" which means your ability to receive benefits under that program is what the law that creates it entitles you to have.
But the Supreme Court has stated there is no property right in an entitlement. The government can modify, replace, or cancel an entitlement program at any time, and there's not a thing you can do as far as getting anything from it. If, for example, Congress was to repeal Social Security - and thus commit political suicide in the process - the fact you paid into it for decades is irrelevant; you don't get your money back and you have no recourse to get the benefits you would have been entitled to. (At least until those former Congressmen who lost the election by landslide margins are replaced by new ones who re-established it!)
