The presence in today’s legal discourse of a large number of scientific approaches to the
definition of the subject of social welfare law is unjustified, since it is impossible to determine
the universal criterion for distinguishing this branch of law from the converging branches of
law. In our opinion, the relations that constitute the subject of the right of social security in the
main number of their material nature, as well as not material, although tangent to the
material, because all relations are related to the distribution of benefits. In essence, they are
property relations and arise, as a rule, in those cases when a social event occurs, which entails
material consequences. We propose the following definition of the subject of social security
law: this is a set of (system) relations that affect the promotion of the vital activity of the
individual, support of a person after adverse events, as well as the provision of appropriate
assistance by the state and the creation ofappropriate benefits.
