Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Means-tested programs are based on a recipient's income or assets, such as Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Social insurance programs, on the other hand, are based on contributions made during a person's working years, such as Social Security and Medicare. Option A and D are incorrect because they mention "income" and "need," which are criteria used in means-tested programs. Option B is incorrect because it refers to "age," which is not a qualifying factor for means-tested programs, but might apply to programs like Social Security or Medicare.
