KABUL: Experts have warned that the U.S. Social Security program is facing financial pressure and that, without reforms, benefits for millions of recipients could be reduced in the coming years.
According to reports, the program’s retirement trust fund could face a funding shortfall by 2032, potentially resulting in an approximately 22% reduction in monthly benefits for eligible recipients.
However, economists say the situation remains manageable. They argue that Congress could address the funding gap through tax reforms, increased revenue, or structural changes to the program.
According to CBS News, experts attribute the financial strain to an aging population, declining birth rates, and a shrinking workforce, all of which have placed increasing pressure on the Social Security system.
Despite these challenges, analysts believe timely political action and reforms could help ensure the long-term sustainability of the program and protect the retirement and social benefits of millions of Americans.
