subvención
Explanation:
Transfer payment :
A payment of money by the government to an individual that does not form part of an exchange but rather represents a gift without anything being received or required in return. Examples of transfer payments would include student scholarship grants, welfare checks, and social security benefits. Establishing programs providing for transfer payments from the budget to particular favored categories of the population represent one of the most direct ways in which a government may pursue policies of income redistribution.

Explanation:
En español la idea de pago implica la de intercambio, quid pro quo. Cierto que en lo que se refiere al Social Security se podría hablar de pago [restitución] de las cantidades descontadas de la paga de la persona durante su vida laboral, pero no ocurre lo mismo con el welfare y otras clases de prestaciones sin contrapartida.
"Subvenciones", y aún mejor, "subsidios", podrían aplicarse a esta últimas, pero no a los pagos del Social Security.
