how did the Social Security administration discriminate against African-Americans when the benefit first rolled out?

It did not cover those who benefited from the first wave of the new programs, which many African-Americans had

It did not cover household, servants and cooks, which were common jobs for African-American women

It set a quota on the percentage of African-Americans who could qualify for benefits

It only covered those employed by the CCC and WPA, which practice racial discrimination when hiring

It also excluded agricultural and domestic workers, which were jobs primarily held by African-Americans at the time. Additionally, the administration's complex application process made it difficult for many African-Americans to access and receive their benefits. Overall, the Social Security administration's policies effectively discriminated against African-Americans by excluding them from the initial benefits of the program.
