In 1920, the Pennsylvania Commission on old age pensions under the directorship of Abraham Epstein became the first movement that fought for old age benefits through its national platform. In 1927, Epstein formed the American Association for Old Age Assistance that later came to be known as the American Association for Social Security. The plan was funded by fixed contributions from the employee and the employer bearing in mind work history (Samwick, 2017). The new concept was aimed at eliminating the negative old age assistance associated with pauperism and need while implementing the old age pension.
