Social Security: Issues and Options

Download pdf

If nothing is done to bailout our social security system, by 1984 Americans might not receive continued timely payments. Early in 1983, the Congress will consider reform measures to restore the financial soundness of the social security system. This Economic Commentary describes social security and its funding problems, summarizes the latest financial projections for the system, and reviews some of the social security reforms that are being proposed.
