How Social Security Works

Social Security Simplified

Since 2010, Social Security has paid out more than it collects in taxes, relying on interest from its trust fund to cover the shortfall. By 2021, it began drawing from the fund itself, which is projected to run out by 2035—or even sooner due to COVID-19—raising concerns for retirees.

Watch this documentary to learn about:

Why Social Security is running a deficit.

How an aging population affects the system.

When the trust fund could run out.

Potential changes to benefits.

The role of taxes in funding Social Security.

How to prepare for future changes.
