Technically, no -- at least not alone. The Social Security Act was a bill that by constitutional law must first be passed by both houses of congress. Roosevelt and his administration strongly pushed for the bill. To become law, it must be signed by the president after congressional passage -- which he did in 1935.

Franklin and his Administration, as part of its New Deal, strongly pushed for, supported and ultimately passed the original Social Security Act in 1935 -- about 2 years after he was first inaugurated. It was developed and proposed as an insurance program that covers old age pensions, survivors' insurance and disability insurance.
