Taxes collected under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) primarily fund Social Security and Medicare programs in the United States. FICA taxes are deducted from employees' wages and matched by employers, contributing to the financial stability of these social insurance programs. Social Security provides retirement, disability, and Survivor benefits, while Medicare offers health insurance for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities. These taxes are essential for supporting the nation's social safety net for eligible citizens.
