Millions of retiring Americans rely on Social Security benefits, but the program will face financial challenges in the next decade that must be addressed. Watch to this crucial conversation on Aug. 14 about the future of Social Security as we explore what can be done to save the program. What is the future of Social Security? What other steps can Congress take to ensure its future? How could the 2024 elections impact the available options?
The forum features a bipartisan panel of policy experts: Max Richtman from the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, and Romina Boccia from the Cato Institute. Robyn Haynes from NBC4 is the moderator.
This pivotal discussion will help you gain a better understanding of the challenges facing the program along with Social Security reform options that could be considered.
