Social Security is the largest U.S. cash transfer program. It provides benefits to retired workers, disabled individuals, and surviving family members of deceased workers. In 2016, Social Security paid out over $900 billion in benefits to over 66 million Americans. Food stamps (now called SNAP) and Medicaid are both means-tested programs, meaning eligibility is based on income and assets. TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) is a smaller program that provides cash assistance to families in need for a limited period of time.
