In my neck of the woods it’s a derogatory term for women who are bragging about income while also receiving large child support checks + government assistance. I’ve only seen it used for strippers who have 3+ baby daddies collecting checks for full custody. Bragging about buying a new Escalade while being on government assistance is considered trashy. For perspective I don’t hate the players just the game.
I think it’s funny that people get mad at that but don’t get mad about someone born into $50mm of wealth collecting $166,666/mo partly insured with no obligation to work or even fill out forms.
Who decided to call them social security moms? Isn’t social security for retired elderly people? I highly doubt these people are getting social security.
What is a social security single mom? Genuinely asking
an easy scapegoat for all the things that the 1% have stolen from us. I swear the welfare moms are in the room with us right now

Social security might mean to them just all sorts of government welfare. That’s how it is used in my native language.
Oh interesting, I wasn’t aware of this.
English isn’t my first language
Gotcha, I can understand your mistake but the other commenter made it sound like it was some sort of widely used slang.
From context I’m guessing it is a single mother who lives off social security and doesn’t go to work.
I have heard the pejorative ‘Welfare Queen’ used to describe this.
There will always be people that abuse benefits. There are also many people who cannot go to work and are doing their best to hold things together.
I wouldn’t be entirely opposed to that if it meant the kids got the love and care they needed.
