Social Security is celebrating its 90th birthday.

The Federal Safety Net program is one of the most popular government programs in American history.

Every five years, AARP conducts a wide ranging survey about the Social Security program.

The organization held a webinar earlier this week to share the findings of its latest survey, and talk about what the future holds for the storied government program.

Today, more than 69 million Americans, more than 1 in 5 people living and working in the United States, receive Social Security payments.

With over 183 million workers paying into the program, more than three quarters of people in the US, 78% are worried that Social Security will not provide enough to live on during retirement.

That's an increase from five years ago, when 74% of Americans were worried that Social Security would not provide enough to live on in retirement.

Only 36% of Americans have confidence in the future of Social Security.

That's down from 43% who had confidence in the program's future five years ago.

Fought any and all efforts to privatize Social Security.

We fought to fix the Social Security's customer service issues that have resulted in long wait times for people who just need basic service, particularly earlier this year.

And through our direct action, AARP members sent more than 2 million messages and phone calls to Congress in a two week period in March to make sure that Social Security would serve them appropriately.

We're concerned about the fact that a lot of people felt that their expenses have far outpaced their ability to to manage their finances, and Social Security has throughout history, provided an inflation proof source of income.

So we're concerned about that growing pace of inflation, the ability of retirees to be able to depend on Social Security.

And of course, we're concerned over all that we've heard from our members in terms of being wanting to make sure that they have continued access to the benefits that they've earned over time.

Who knows where I would be without it?

Who knows where others would be?

And we all know where many are because they do not have an income to live on.

I'm very concerned about what Congress would do with the Social Security Trust Fund.

Without Social Security, I wouldn't be able to have my own.

I own my own home.

I drive without Social Security, much to the chagrin of my daughters and grandchildren.

I'd probably have to live with them.

We're continuing to bring pressure to social Security and to Congress to do the oversight and provide the funding and resources that SSA needs, and also to make sure that SSA is asking for what they need and is is allocating resources properly.

Social security is about independence.

It's a lifeline, and it's how I can continue to live my life the way I've earned it.

And the way I want to.

According to a new report from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Social Security's Retirement Trust fund is due to become insolvent in 2032 after the passage of the president's budget plan, which he calls the Big Beautiful Bill.
