What happened

Well supportedReported by 21 independent outlets

Government estimates project that the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will exhaust its reserves in the fourth quarter of 2032, which is one quarter earlier than previously forecast. At that point, continuing revenue would only cover 78 percent of scheduled benefits unless Congress acts.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

While the financial issues predate recent tax legislation, the new law reduced a source of revenue while the program was already rapidly approaching depletion. If Congress does not intervene, automatic benefit reductions could occur within the next decade.
