What are the changes that have been made to Social Security since 1935 and what year did they occur?
You should be able to find some of the information that you want by using the below website address as a starting point in the history of the social security insurance program.
On August 14, 1935, the Social Security Act was enacted ... "To provide for the general welfare by establishing a system of federal old-age benefits and by enabling the several states to make more adequate provision..."
The real significance of this Act is that it was the country's first major federal government program to deal directly with the economic security of its citizens. Before then, such matters were handled by states and private sources. Federal action became necessary because neither the states nor private charities had the financial resources to cope with the growing need among the people.
Let's examine some of those major social, economic, and philosophical developments which led, directly or indirectly, to the present American social insurance system.

Yes, he will. Since Social Security Numbers were established in 1936, there have been many changes in the way the numbers were assigned. The use of the number was expanded in 1943, and gradually, more and more federal agencies began to use the social security number as a way of identifying individuals applying for various government services. Given how important the use of the social security number has become since the 1940s, it is safe to say that most presidents since that time have had one. And that includes the current president, Barack Obama.

What's the purpose of having a social security number?
The original purpose of this number was to track individuals' accounts within the Social Security program. It has since come to be used as an identifier for individuals within the United States, although rare errors occur where duplicates do exist. Employee, patient, student, and credit records are sometimes indexed by Social Security number. The U.S. Armed Forces has used the Social Security number as an identification number for the Army and Air Force since 1969, the Navy and Marine Corps since 1972, and the Coast Guard since 1974. Social Security was originally a universal tax, but when Medicare was passed in 1965, objecting religious groups in existence prior to 1951 were allowed to opt out of the system. Because of this, not every American is part of the Social Security program, and not everyone has a number.
