Because Social Security and Medicare are not means-tested, the share of transfer payments going to middle- and upper-income households tends to increase, for several reasons.

There are so many other examples. Here are several -
Military retirement
VA disability
Combat related special compensation (Is tax free, but replaces VA disability)
VA spousal benefits
Congressional retirement
State retirement
Widows benefits from prior marriage

A couple can be eligible for all of these including Social Security and Medicare.
