The program is based on contributions that workers make into the system. While you're employed, you pay into Social Security; you receive benefits later on, when it's your turn to retire. Contributions take the form of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes that are withheld from most paychecks.

However, by continuing to work, future Social Security benefits may be increased to take into account the additional earnings.

The question is not clear. Are you asking about day to day security or about Social Security.

Even the President of the United States will receive benefits when he retires.
