Which of the following benefits is not part of the Social Security program?

Unemployment benefits are not part of the Social Security program. Social Security primarily provides three main types of benefits: disability benefits, which assist individuals who are unable to work due to a physical or mental condition; Medicare benefits, which offer health insurance primarily for people age 65 and older or for those with certain disabilities; and retirement benefits, which provide financial support to individuals who have retired after reaching a certain age, given they have paid into the system through payroll taxes.

Unemployment benefits, on the other hand, are a separate form of assistance designed to support individuals who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own and are actively seeking new employment. This program is typically administered at the state level rather than federally through Social Security, which is why it is not included in the core benefits provided by the Social Security program.
