Social security had exceptions for farmworkers as well as domestic workers (which was the majority of black people at the time of creation). GI Bill had far more benefits for white Americans as they used it to join great universities in emerging fields. Black Americans mostly used it to go into trades school or underfunded black universities. Access to mortgages through the GI bill was far greater for white people.

Although most these things are better now these things have long lasting consequences for the wealth distribution in the US.
