Social Security trust fund projected to run dry by 2032
Original: JUST IN: Social Security’s main trust fund is now projected to run dry in 2032.
New projections indicate Social Security's main trust fund could be depleted by 2032, a year earlier than some prior estimates. If that happens, incoming payroll taxes would only cover a portion of promised benefits, likely forcing across-the-board cuts unless Congress acts. The news is drawing widespread reaction, with people debating the program's solvency, retirement security for younger workers, and the political difficulty of reform options like raising taxes or the retirement age.
Why now: An earlier depletion date threatens retirement benefits for millions of Americans, sparking concern and political debate.
