Quote of the Day

Will Social Security Benefits be available to you when you retire?  That is a big question! Per an article written in 2010 by Steven C. Goss, Chief Actuary of the US Social Security Administration. "As a result of changes to Social Security enacted in 1983, benefits are now expected to be payable in full on a timely basis until 2037, when the trust fund reserves are projected to become exhausted.  At the point where the reserves are used up, continuing taxes are expected to be enough to pay 76 percent of scheduled benefits. Thus, the Congress will need to make changes to the scheduled benefits and revenue sources for the program in the future."  You can read the entire article for more information.
