Title II of the Social Security Act

Title II of the Social Security Act primarily establishes the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program. This program provides financial support to qualified individuals, including retirees, survivors of deceased workers, and persons with disabilities. Funded through payroll taxes, it ensures that workers and their families receive benefits based on their work history and earnings. Essentially, Title II helps protect Americans from financial hardship due to aging, death of a family member, or disability, providing a safety net for those in need.
