Answer to Question 1

A general definition of unemployment is a person who wants to work but does not have a job. A person who is not in the labor force does not have a job and does not want one. More specifically to be considered as unemployed, and thus in the labor force, the person must not have a job but must be available and willing to work. The person must also have made some effort to find work within the past four weeks, or be waiting to be called back to a job from which he or she has been laid off, or be waiting to start a new job within 30 days.

Answer to Question 2

The Supplemental Security Income program was set up by the Social Security Administration to take care of the elderly who are very poor and have little or no social security entitlement.
