Best Answer

FICA was the result of the Social Security Act of 1935, proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The program began collecting taxes and paying benefits in 1937. In 1939, FICA was amended to include widows and orphans of working spouses, as well as elderly people who had not paid into the system.
