Abstract:
This CBPP analysis highlights several points about the trustees’ report: The trustees’ report reaffirms that Social Security does not face a near-term crisis and can continue to pay full benefits for more than three decades but will eventually face a significant imbalance. The trustees’ report finds a slight improvement from last year’s projections in Social Security’s financial status, largely as a result of updates in program data and minor changes in methods and assumptions.
