4 Social Security Changes Joe Biden Wants to Make: Is 2023 the Year They Become Reality?
For most Americans, Social Security doesn't just provide "some check" they'll receive after they retire. According to national pollster Gallup, Social Security supplies a source of income retirees deem necessary to make ends meet. Since 2002, anywhere from 80% to 90% of annually surveyed retirees lean on their monthly payout to some degree to cover their expenses.
Although Social Security is the U.S.'s most successful retirement program, having provided retired workers with benefits for 82 years (and counting), it's on shaky ground. And as the sustainability of Social Security payouts comes into question, it's lawmakers who come into focus -- specifically President Joe Biden.
