Social Security is a program that was enacted by Congress in 1935 (amended and expanded several times) to provide for the basic needs of individuals and families; to keep families together and to give children the opportunity to grow up healthy and secure.

Paraphrasing the social security system’s purposes. It’s a “social program” and not a “retirement program” as such.
