The Social Security Act of 1935 was passed in response to the Great Depression to provide financial security for elderly individuals and those in need.
The Social Security Act of 1935 was passed in response to the Great Depression primarily because a large number of elderly men and women were left unemployed and unable to provide for themselves.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal introduced Social Security to address the challenges faced by the elderly and those in need.
