How is it financed?
Social Security is financed by a payroll tax paid for by employers and employees.
Social Security payment amounts are set to shrink unless Congress takes action to prevent it. Analysts estimate the SSA will no longer be able to issue full payments as early as 2034, due to a rising number of retirees and a shrinking workforce.
