FALSE: During the Middle Ages, the term "unworthy poor" was not specifically used to refer to individuals deemed illegitimately unfit for work. The concept of the "unworthy poor" did exist during that time, but it had a broader meaning. In medieval society, there was a distinction made between the "worthy poor" and the "unworthy poor." The "worthy poor" were those who were genuinely unable to work or support themselves due to factors such as disability, illness, or old age. They were often provided with assistance and charity by religious institutions and the community.
