21. Disagree

If a claim can be filed based on the intent of the program, to replace lost income, then a person with sufficient income doesn't have a basis for a claim. That amount of income should be high, in the $75,000 area, to take away any hint that it's welfare. Besides, there are a number of people who actually do think of it as nothing more than a welfare style entitlement anyway. To remind people that it's Old Age, Disability and Survivor Insurance would be quite helpful to get people to see its importance from the moment they start working.
