Combined Funds Move One Year Sooner to 2034; OASI Remains at 2033

The logo of the Social Security AdministrationThe Social Security Board of Trustees released its annual report on the financial status of the Social Security Trust Funds. The combined reserves of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance (OASI and DI) Trust Funds are projected to have enough dedicated revenue to pay all scheduled benefits and associated administrative costs until 2034, one year earlier than projected last year, with 81 percent of benefits payable at that time.

The OASI Trust Fund is projected to become depleted in 2033, the same year as last year’s estimate, with 77 percent of benefits payable at that time. The DI Trust Fund reserves are not projected to become depleted during the 75-year projection period.

    Why do we no change the ss ceiling, s everyday paysth same % as lower income people? Meaning everyone pays on the 1st 175,000 UT if they make $300,000 ayear they only pay on the first $175,000 correct? If every one paid on all they make I think w would not be worrying about running out of money.
    I would like an answer

    Are my monthly benefits in jeopardy to be cut or eliminated after 2033 or 2034?

      All concerned people need to address your concerns to your Congressional Reps. and U.S. Senator today. Mail or email your letter of concerns to vote with both House Chambers before another year passes, and before our large Titanic ship sinks!

      Sir, illegals and refugees cannot get your social security. There are other programs for refugees, but illegals work and put money into social security fund, but as non citizens or legal residents that contribute to the system, they can’t get social security payments.

    Well dear readers, it’s time for Medicare for All in the USA, and also an BMI. The argument based on “How are we going to pay it?” is repellent and is playing everybody for fools.
    Medicare for All will save lives, money and give security to people in their most vulnerable time’s of their lives.
    A BMI for people making up to 150,000 a year will allow people to have better financial lives, with every Penny spent going back into the economy.
    The Insurance industry will benefit in the long run, once they reconfigure for not making Money off of Human Healthcare.
    Thank you and your Associates for your work.

    This was OUR tax money stolen from us and partly our employers and it was misused, yet now we’re casually told that the fund will run out when we need it most and won’t even be there for future retirees. Then Congress, who we also pay, better really start fighting to find a way to replace that money through taxing the rich and stop funding the military more than any other country in the world does! What is disgrace.

    So congress has casually spent money from the trust fund over many years, established their own separate retirement scheme at taxpayer expense, and now wants to cut taxes for the wealthy and boost defense spending rather than putting back the retirement funds that WE CITIZENS PAID and they spent. The promise was “pay into this mandatory fund and we will save it for you”. They didn’t. What are they going to do about it???

    My recommendation to resolve this would be to increase the percentage of contributions to Social Security for those currently working. Those who continue working and receive Social Security would have to pay a minimum percentage.

      Good idea to fund more from payroll taxes. Unfortunately, layoffs will happens since employers are looking for profits over hard working employees earning their fair keeps.

    Closing customer offices and reducing customer telephone service staff is just wrong.
    We all know it is wrong. So do you.
    Please try to get those services back to a most vulnerable group who needs them.

    Is there a plan to replenish the accounts?

      Please refer your concerns to your Rep and Senators with your questions for their House Votes without delay since our time appears to be running out! This is only a reading opinions site and not any site for advice.

      I don’t see a plan to replenish the Treasury but just what I think is mismanaged trust funds expected to run short by the projected year of 2033.

      I suggest everyone contacts their representatives ASAP about all concerns before time runs out since effective votes must be turned in to The House and Senate to be signed by The President to make the updated SSA strategy effective law prior to their disaster date.

      We just cannot have people thrown onto the streets and displace vital many
      businesses as well, making our economy losers in another possible Great Recession!
