The Social Security Act was passed in 1935. It was to be financed by workers paying into the trust fund. However, no one had paid into Social Security in 1935.
In the 1930s, individual states had their own assistance programs for the needy. These programs didn't get rolled into Social Security until 1971.
The New York Times published an interesting article, explaining why applying for Social Security disability benefits is so unpleasant.
