flag Social Security trust fund may run out by 2032, risking up to 28% benefit cuts without reform.

flag The Congressional Budget Office projects the Social Security trust fund will be depleted by 2032, leading to automatic benefit cuts of up to 28% if no reforms are enacted. flag Without changes, retirees and survivors could see monthly payments drop by nearly $6,700 annually, with initial reductions of about 7% in 2032 rising to 28% by 2036. flag Factors include higher cost-of-living adjustments, slower payroll tax revenue growth, and a recent law expanding benefits to public sector workers. flag Experts urge policymakers to act, suggesting reforms like higher payroll taxes or targeted benefit adjustments to prevent a fiscal crisis and improve long-term economic health.
