Congress enacted the Social Security Act of 1935 as part of the economic and social reforms that made up President Franklin d. Roosevelt's new deal. The act provided for the payment of monthly benefits to qualified wage earners who were at least 65 years old or payment of a lump-sum death benefit to the estate of a wage earner who died before reaching age 65.
