Description
Social insurance helps workers and their families avoid loss of income, whether due to retirement, death, disability, or unemployment, and to maintain access to health care. In the United States, these include programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation, and Social Security–programs implemented over the past century to help lift or keep millions of Americans out of poverty. The National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI), which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, promotes these safety net programs. In honor of NASI’s anniversary, the Corporation will support NASI in continuing its public education programs; conducting research and policy analyses; and developing new leaders in the social insurance field.
