Social Security Officials Deny Agency Is Going Broke
Social Security officials insist the program is not bankrupt though 1957 will show higher benefits paid than payroll tax receipts. Interest from the $22.5 billion trust fund will cover the gap, with a potential 1959 deficit offset by automatic tax increases to 28 percent for employers and 28 percent for employees by 1980. Projections through 2010 expect surpluses, while farmers gaining benefits since 1954 raise near-term costs as a one-time spike.
