On August 5, 2010, the long-awaited 2010 report of the Social Security Trustees was released to the public. This briefing presented an opportunity for an in-depth explanation of the program’s finances from an authoritative source – Stephen C. Goss, Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration.
The briefing sought to find answers to important questions such as: How has the weak economy affected Social Security’s long-term projections? Will health care reform – the Affordable Care Act of 2010 – affect Social Security’s long-term finances? If so, how? Can we afford Social Security in coming decades? What options do policymakers have to ensure that Social Security remains adequate and secure?
From the responses of those in attendance many found answers to those questions.
