Which reason best highlights why amendments to the social security act (ssa) were made? question 16 options: a. the first version excluded (left out) groups of people who should receive benefits too b. the ssa amendments were ultimately vetoed by congress c. the first version of the act covered more people than intended and the amendments were needed to cut costs d. fdr was concerned that young voters felt left out of the new deal, and the ssa amendments would provide benefits to them while they worked

The changes to the Social Security Act in 1939 allowed for a larger amount of people to receive benefits from this system (Letter A). The amendments made to this act allowed for family members to receive survivor benefits. For example, if there was a person who paid into Social Security and passed away immediately, their family members (like a spouse or child) would be able to receive money from the Social Security system.

Along with this, retired individuals could also set up payment so that their spouse or children receive money as well. These changes in Social Security help to turn this system into one where several members of the family benefit, rather than just the retired or elderly individual.
