Social Security is an example of a mandatory spending program in the federal budget. This means that funding for Social Security is required by law and does not need to be approved annually by Congress, unlike discretionary spending programs. It provides financial assistance to retirees, disabled individuals, and survivors of deceased workers, playing a crucial role in the social safety net.
