Welfare in the United States was significantly expanded with the creation of the Social Security Act in 1935, during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. This act established a system of old-age benefits and provided assistance to various groups, including the unemployed and dependent children. Roosevelt’s administration aimed to address the economic hardships of the Great Depression through these social safety net programs.
