How to wish Social Security a happy 91st birthday

Social Security was established in 1935 and will reach its 91st anniversary in 2026. The program's trust fund is projected to be depleted in 2032, according to the Social Security Administration's most recent estimates. After that date, incoming payroll taxes would cover approximately 77 percent of scheduled benefits without legislative action, according to the trustees' report. Congress has not passed legislation to address the program's long-term financing.
