Which type of benefit does NOT fall under the Social Security framework?

The answer is correct because unemployment benefits are not classified under the Social Security framework. Instead, they are typically administered at the state level through state unemployment insurance programs, which provide financial assistance to individuals who have lost their jobs involuntarily and meet specific eligibility requirements.

In contrast, Medicare benefits, survivors benefits, and disability benefits are all part of the Social Security system. Medicare provides health insurance to eligible individuals, primarily those aged 65 and older, while survivors benefits assist family members of deceased workers who have earned Social Security credits. Disability benefits provide income support to individuals who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability. Each of these benefits is funded and managed under the Social Security Administration, distinguishing them from unemployment benefits.
