The U.S. Social Security trust fund, a financial lifeline for millions of retirees, is now expected to run out of money by late 2032, sooner than previously anticipated.

This acceleration in depletion is partly due to the tax legislation signed by President Donald Trump last year, according to government reports released on Tuesday.

The news raises concerns over the financial stability and future viability of Social Security benefits, sparking urgent discussions among policymakers and stakeholders.
