The trust fund is slated to be depleted partly due to the wave of baby boomer retirements and an aging U.S. population, which means its reserves are drawing down because spending is outpacing income.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Congress, along with the Social Security Administration and others committed to eliminating waste, fraud and abuse, must work together to protect and strengthen the trust funds for the millions of Americans who rely on it \u2014 now and in the future \u2014 for a secure retirement or in the event of a disability,&#8221; said Frank Bisignano, commissioner of Social Security, in a statement.<\/p>\n<h2>Here&#8217;s the impact on your benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Even if the trust funds are depleted \u2014 which may not occur if Congress makes changes to how the program is funded, for instance \u2014 benefits won&#8217;t suddenly disappear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Social Security beneficiaries would see a 19% cut to their benefits, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>The current average Social Security benefit for a retiree stands at $1,976, which means a 19% reduction would take their monthly check down to about $1,600.<\/p>\n<p>The new report is a wake-up call that lawmakers need to move quickly to shore up the program, some advocacy groups for seniors said on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Congress must act to protect and strengthen the Social Security that Americans have earned and paid into throughout their working lives,&#8221; said AARP CEO Myechia Minter-Jordan in an email. &#8220;More than 69 million Americans rely on Social Security today and as America&#8217;s population ages, the stability of this vital program only becomes more important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Changes to Social Security<\/h2>\n<p>One of the changes to Social Security this year that will have a &#8220;substantial&#8221; impact on the program is the Social Security Fairness Act, which went into effect on January 5, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>The Social Security Fairness Act expanded benefits for millions by eliminating two federal\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/pubs\/EN-05-10045.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">policies<\/a>\u00a0that barred employees with a public pension from collecting their full benefits under the federal retirement program.
