Social Security Trust Funds: Crisis in 6 Years

Social Security Trust Funds Depleting Faster Than Expected: Benefits at Risk The Congressional Budget Office warns that the main retirement fund could be empty by 2032, a year earlier than predicted. Both funds are expected to be depleted by 2033. The rapid depletion is due to baby boomers retiring, fewer young workers paying into the system, low birth rates, less immigration, and tax cuts.

Lawmakers are considering options like removing the wage cap, raising the retirement age, or increasing payroll taxes to keep benefits steady.
