It is exactly and precisely the opposite of what you posted. An entitlement is something you are entitled to. People who have paid into social security, are entitled to receive social security.
No one is "entitled" to SNAP payments or Section 8 housing or welfare. That's something you get when you are living in poverty. If you want a piece of that, feel free to give me all your money and investments, live in poverty, and apply for government assistance.
