When Did Social Security and Medicare Start?

Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in August 1935. The first one-time, lump-sum payments were made in January 1937, and regular monthly benefits were first paid in January 1940. Medicare wasn't enacted until July 1965, with the first beneficiaries signing up approximately one year later.

The Social Security Act of 1935 was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 14, 1935. The government began collecting taxes for Social Security in January 1937, and began paying regular monthly benefits in January 1940.

In 1939, the government added survivors' benefits and benefits for retired spouses and children; disability benefits were added in 1956.

President Johnson introduced Medicare as part of his "Great Society" initiative. The bill was signed into law on July 30, 1965. Medicare began signing up beneficiaries on July 1, 1966.

Although the Social Security Act was originally signed into law in 1935, the first monthly benefit check wasn't issued until 1940. It was made payable to Ida Mae Fuller in the amount of $22.54.
