folks who have become disabled

Answer 2

The correct answers are the following:

• people who paid into the system and are now retired
• folks who have become disabled

The Social Security is a system that is financed by the contributions of people who are currently part of the workforce. They make regular payments so that in case of an illness which does not allow them to work, or at retirement, they get paid themselves. Those who have never worked, and therefore have never contributed to the system, are not entitled to receive payments.
