2 months agoSocial Security Faces $460 Monthly Cut Per Retiree Unless Congress Acts
The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund faces a critical milestone in 2033 when its reserves are projected to run dry. This doesn't mean Social Security disappears-payroll taxes from current workers will continue flowing in, but those taxes alone won't cover full benefits.
