Millions of Americans could see Social Security benefits reduced if Congress doesn’t act. The OASI Trust Fund can pay 100% of scheduled benefits until 2033, then face a 23% cut. Individuals would need $138,000 in additional savings to make up the difference, according to a PensionBee analysis.
Workers of all ages would need to set aside different monthly amounts to save an extra $138,000 by retirement. Starting at age 25, contributions range from $67 to $701 per month.
