The correct option for welfare state programs that is not means-tested.
Answer to Problem 18MCQ
From the available options, the correct option is Social Security.
Explanation of Solution
Means-tested benefits are the benefits offered by different government assistance as well as state and federal welfare schemes by determining the income of a family against the poverty rate which means this is not applicable in the case of social security because social security includes replacement benefits for retired persons and individuals with a disability. It means all options: a, b, c, and e are incorrect as these benefits are means-tested where the income of individuals is compared with the poverty line.
Therefore, the correct option is d (Social Security).
Introduction: Welfare state programs are executed to offer assistance to needy individuals and families and these programs are sponsored by the government.
