Congress Pressed to Act Ahead of 2032 Social Security Gap

Social Security is back under scrutiny after trustees said in their latest report that the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance trust fund could run out of money in the fourth quarter of 2032, moving up the estimate by a quarter from last year. If Congress fails to act, incoming revenue at that point would cover just 78% of the benefits owed to retirees and survivors. The same report says that if the retirement and disability trust funds are combined, the fund would last until the third quarter of 2034, but could only pay out 83% of scheduled benefits.
