Social Security protects you from poverty because of disability, death, and retirement. It is insurance that keeps you afloat when those things happen. It goes far beyond the retirement piece that many people focus their attention on.
When someone becomes fully disabled, Social Security provides a stipend for those who need it to stay afloat.
When someone dies, Social Security provides survivor benefits for those left behind (a child in the home and a spouse).
When someone retires, Social Security provides retirement benefits for those who could live 20 or more years longer.
