Social Security Board of Trustees

The Social Security Board of Trustees is a group responsible for overseeing the financial health of the Social Security program in the United States. Established by law, it includes government officials and experts who assess the program's funding and sustainability. They publish an annual report that evaluates the current status and future projections of Social Security funds, ensuring it can meet its obligations to retirees, disabled individuals, and other beneficiaries. This oversight helps maintain trust in the system and informs lawmakers about necessary reforms to secure its long-term viability.
