3-A-1 - Social Security Funded Status and Future Alternatives to Save it
Panelists provide an overview of the Social Security program’s current financial position along with near‐ and long‐term projections, and identify the most critical economic and demographic drivers of the program’s financial well‐being. Key assumptions relied on in making these projections are identified, along with the methodology used in selecting them.
Our experts also discuss the kinds of changes to current taxes and benefits are projected to be required to achieve long-term sustainability, and look at legislative proposals (past and potential in the future) to bolster the long‐term financial status of the program.
