This episode of Grow Money Business covers everything you need to know about Social Security: from how to get through to your local office & the expected wait times for their 1-800 number to how long we'll be able to pay retiree benefits. The background here is that the trustees of Social Security are required to publish a report on the funding of the program annually. The 2025 report was published just a few weeks ago, and this episode covers what you need to know about it.
