Public assistance programs established by Social Security for dependent children, the poor and the elderly, were systematically denied from many employed Black workers. Identify the ways in which Blacks were prevented from benefiting from these types of assistance programs.

Blacks represented the majority of domestic servant jobs, which did not pay Social Security taxes; therefore, most were eligible only for direct public assistance that came with a stigma of depending on 'government handouts.'

Many employers hired Black employees over white employees during the Depression, easing their unemployment numbers so they did not have as high a need for public assistance programs.

States set benefit levels extremely low and set eligibility standards that discriminated against Blacks.
