- Passed on March 9, 1933, this act allowed a plan that would close down insolvent banks and reorganize and reopen those banks strong enough to survive. It was a temporary response to a major problem. The 1933 Banking Act passed later that year presented elements of longer-term response, including formation of the FDIC.
- During the years 1929-1933 nearly 10,000 banks failed in the United States. Furthermore, depositors would lose their money when a bank failed. The Emergency Banking Relief Act was quickly enacted by Congress to allow for the reopening of individual banks “as soon as examiners found them to be financially secure.”

FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation)
- This entity provided insurance to personal banking accounts up to $5,000. These assured people that their money was safe and secure.
-  So many banks had closed that President Roosevelt declared a bank holiday to stop the panic. On March 6, three days after taking office, he closed all US banks. Congress passed the Glass-Steagall on March 9 to restore confidence before the banks reopened. When they reopened, they only gave depositors 10 cents for each dollar. Many banks had invested in the stock market, which crashed in 1929. When depositors' found out, they all rushed to their banks to withdraw their deposits.

SSA (Social Security Administration)
- This guaranteed retirement payments for enrolled workers beginning at age 65. It set up federal-state system of unemployment insurance and care for dependent mothers and children, the handicapped, and public health.
- The act laid the groundwork for the modern welfare system in the United States, with its primary focus to provide aid for the elderly, the unemployed, and children.
