Best Answer

Social insurance which is where people receive benefits or services in recognition of contributions to an insurance scheme. These services typically include provision for retirement pensions, disability insurance, Survivor benefits and unemployment insurance.

Income Maintenance�mainly the distribution of cash in the event of interruption of employment, including retirement, disability and unemployment

Simply as "services" provided by administrations responsible for social security. In different countries this may include medical care, aspects of social work and even industrial relations. More rarely, the term is also used to refer to basic security, a term roughly equivalent to access to basic necessities�things such as food, clothing, shelter, education and medical care.
