Counsel Kristin Shapiro co-authored a report on what could happen to Social Security benefits in 2033 if no significant changes are made to the program. The report was cited by CNBC in an article titled “What Could Happen to Social Security Benefits in 2033 if the Program’s Trust Fund Isn’t Fixed,” published Oct. 22, 2024, which explains why Social Security funds have a depletion date and proposes changes that would help avoid broad cuts to retirees’ benefits.
