Why Social Security won't run out

If you have job, a chunk of each paycheck goes toward Social Security. The program is a lifeline for millions of Americans. In 2023, nearly 70 million Americans will receive a Social Security benefit every month. Those checks are especially important for disabled Americans, retirees and family members who lost a loved one. But the program is at risk. If action isn't taken, Americans might see a cut in their benefits starting in 2034.
