1. 1939 - Enacted legislation that eliminated lump-sum payroll tax refunds and provided benefits for aged wives and widows, young children of retired and deceased workers, young widows caring for a child beneficiary, and dependent parents of retired and deceased workers.
2. 1950 - the 1950 amendments increased the contribution and benefit base (the amount of annual wages subject to Social Security taxes and creditable for benefits) from $3,000 to $3,600 and provided a revised schedule of gradually increasing tax rates for employers, employees, and the newly covered self-employed.
3. Social Security legislation enacted in 1954 and 1956 extended coverage to (among others) the farm self-employed, certain groups of professional self-employed (generally with the exception of physicians), members of the uniformed services, and State and local government employees under a retirement system, under various conditions. Thus, by the mid-1950's, some 20 years after enactment of Social Security, the protection offered under the program was available to 90 percent of workers.
4.1956 established a cash disability insurance program--with benefits first payable in 1957--with essentially the same eligibility requirements passed by the House in 1950. Because of concern about the high costs of a disability program and potential abuse, however, benefits were payable only to workers who were at least 50 years old. These amendments established basic principles under which the disability program continues to operate today:
"Disability" is defined as the inability to engage in substantial gainful activity (prior to legislation in 1965, permanent disability was required; the 1965 legislation provided the present-law requirement that the disability be expected to last at least 12 months or be expected to result in death); Disability must be established on the basis of objective medical evidence; Eligibility is based on both duration and recency of work in covered employment;
Benefits are paid only after a waiting period;
A proportion of Social Security funds may be spent for rehabilitation of disabled workers; and
Workers who refuse to accept physical examinations or rehabilitation may lose their benefits.
5. the Congress approved legislation that established automatic cost-of-living adjustments (COLA's) in benefits based on price increases as measured by the Consumer Price Index and provided for automatically increasing the maximum amount of earnings covered under the system. Moreover, the payroll tax schedule adopted in 1972 reflected the 1971 Council's recommendations with respect to both the basis for 75-year cost estimates and current-cost financing.

PART A helps pay for inpatient hospital, home health, skilled nursing facility, and hospice care. PART A is financed primarily by the FICA tax (2.9% tax on earned income, without limit).
PART B helps pay for physician, outpatient hospital, home health, and other services. PART B is financed by premiums, copays, and general revenue.
PART C is the "medical advantage" program that expands beneficiaries' options for participating in private-sector health care plans (part c must include parts a and b, many also include part d). PART C is financed by the FICA tax, premiums (fees), federal general revenues (tax).
PART D is a prescription drug benefit (created in 2003 and phased in by 2006). PART D is financed by premiums, copays, state revenue, and federal general revenues. States are responsible for covering part of the Medicare/Medicaid bill.
