Impacts of Social Security Trust Fund Shortage
The Social Security Trust Fund is projected to deplete its reserves by the fourth quarter of 2032, but benefits would not stop entirely. If no changes are made, only about 78% of scheduled benefits could be paid, potentially resulting in roughly a 22% reduction for beneficiaries. Congress could prevent these cuts by adjusting revenue or benefit policies, but no such measures have been enacted yet.
