In recent months, the debate about Social Security has been heating up. Some policymakers are calling for benefit cuts while others are making the case for expanding benefits. Federal lawmakers are weighing legislative options, but getting to a bi-partisan solution won’t be easy During this webinar, a panel of experts provided insight on the current state of the program, the potential for legislation advancing on Capitol Hill, and an innovative idea for caregiving credits as part of Social Security. Attendees also heard about the findings of new research brief, A Vanishing Benefit: Why Social Security’s Special Minimum Benefit is Fading Away, from the National Institute on Retirement Security.
