In the 1950s, welfare programs in the United States were often referred to as "aid to families with dependent children" (AFDC), which was part of the Social Security Act. The term "welfare" itself was commonly used to describe various forms of government assistance aimed at supporting low-income families. The focus during this time was primarily on economic support for families, particularly those headed by single mothers.
