Social Security may be a program for a majority of American workers, but younger generations are balking at paying more to secure the faltering system if it doesn’t guarantee them their own benefits in the future.
The program’s trust funds are expected to run out of money by 2034, at which point benefits would be cut by about one-fifth, according to the 2025 Social Security trustees report. Congress has never let Social Security miss a payment, but legislators will need to agree on reform tactics to shore up the funds needed to keep the program solvent.
