American Welfare without the New Deal

Say, for whatever reason, the Great Depression is much more mild and FDR never becomes president because he isn't needed.

How will welfare come along? Will things similar to Social Security all be done at the state level? Would Americans be better or worse off?

The Depression is a required catalyst. The dole exists before FDR but it was small and much maligned. SS will probably have to wait for another disaster combined with public outcry and a canny politician.
