For many retired Americans, Social Security isn't just a check they receive each month. It's a financial lifeline that keeps them above the federal poverty line and allows them to make ends meet. An analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in 2016 found that the mere existence of Social Security income keeps 22.1 million people -- 15.1 million of whom are retirees -- out of poverty each year. It's simply that important.
Unfortunately, this crucial program is set to undergo some major changes in the years ahead. The latest Social Security Board of Trustees report, which was released last summer, estimates that the program will begin paying out more in benefits than it's generating in revenue beginning in 2022. A dozen years later, in 2034, the program's $3 trillion in asset reserves, built up over the previous four decades, is expected to be completely exhausted.
