Which of the following is a type of Social Security benefit mentioned?

• A. Retirement income
• B. Unemployment
• C. Workers' Comp
• D. Medical plan

Answer: (A)

Social Security provides different kinds of benefits to support people at different life stages, and retirement income is one of them. The retirement benefit is the regular monthly payment you receive after you reach eligible age and have earned enough work credits. The other options are not Social Security benefits: unemployment benefits come from unemployment insurance programs run by states; workers’ compensation covers work-related injuries; a medical plan refers to health insurance like Medicare, which is a separate program and not a Social Security payment. So retirement income is the type of Social Security benefit mentioned.
