The contributions that a worker makes to Social Security through his or her taxes
a) are paid into the Social Security system and do not accumulate in a personal account.
b) accumulate in a personal account that the worker can access at any time he or she is unemployed.
c) are paid back to the employer to help subsidize the costs of worker pensions.
d) accumulate in a personal account that the worker can access once he or she reaches the age of 66.

Social Security contributions from workers go into a system that funds current benefits, rather than accumulating in personal accounts. The correct answer is (a): these funds do not build up for individual workers. Understanding this distinction is important for grasping how the Social Security system operates. ;
