4.1: Social Security Reforms

Evaluate Social Security reform proposals.

Other Information:

The Center evaluates Social Security reform proposals, examining their implications for the program’s basic social insurance character and long-term solvency, as well as their effects on the federal budget. (Several prominent reform proposals would require the transfer of large amounts of general revenue to Social Security.) We also examine ways to ensure long-term solvency that also strengthen rather than weaken Social Security for low-income and minority beneficiaries.
