Social Security turns 91, and the 2032 “run out” claim is challenged

MarketWatch argues that Social Security’s outlook depends on updated projections, and that a commonly repeated 2032 funding timeline needs to be reconsidered.

MarketWatch marks Social Security’s 91st birthday while urging a shift away from the repeated claim that the program will run out of money in 2032.

The outlet frames its point as a correction to the way the program’s future financing is commonly discussed, suggesting the 2032 deadline should not be treated as a near-term certainty.
