Status of the Social Security and Medicare Programs

Released:

A SUMMARY OF THE 2025 ANNUAL REPORTS
Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees

"Based on our best estimates, this year's reports show that......

The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2033, unchanged from last year’s report. At that time, the fund’s reserves will become depleted and continuing program income will be sufficient to pay 77 percent of total scheduled benefits......"

"As in prior years, we found that the Social Security and Medicare programs both continue to face significant financing issues.

The non-health-specific intermediate (best estimate) assumptions for these reports were set in December 2024. The Trustees will continue to monitor developments, reevaluate the assumptions, and modify the projections in later reports."
