Fact-check: “Social Security will be depleted by 2030”
Verdict: False (95% confidence)
Multiple independent primary sources — including the 2025 SSA Trustees Report and the CBO's February 2026 baseline projections — directly contradict this claim, projecting depletion of Social Security's OASI trust fund no earlier than 2032, with combined OASDI depletion projected at 2033–2034. No official government source or credible institutional projection found documents a depletion date of 2030 or earlier.
